Above, you can see the final result of this years Advent Calendar. Again, a specials thanks to Roomie, Bluetiful_Monday, Gustav Goblin and especially Lurker for building more than one entry each. Without you, this literally wouldn't have been possible.

And now we come to the sad part of all of this: After more than a decade on the site I will be leaving the community. As you all know I was banned earlier in the year and while I have been reinstated to the site, my ban on discord remains intact. While the admins didn't make it impossible for me to return, they made it very clear to me that I am no longer welcome on the Discord. I will go no deeper than that and the admins might have a different view on things, but that is how I felt. I also can't really say that I blame them. They did their best to make me consider staying just on the site, but my attempts at building in the last month and this event has shown me how hollow of an existance it is, considering most of the activity is on the discord. I'm not sure if the calendar was discussed at all on the discord, but it felt there was not much activity on here and there was more activity on the discord last year. I also found building basically impossible, being completely cut off from the community.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has maybe overlooked my slights and failings and tried to see me in the best light. I also want to thank everyone who has forgiven me, even if I might not have deserved it. I want to apologize to everyone who felt hurt by something I said. Although I maybe never made it clear, I never said anything with the intention of actually hurting anyone beyond the argument at hand and I am sorry if I sometimes shot over that goal. I want to especially say sorry to Hydro, who I said something nasty towards. I wasn't fully aware of the implications of what I said back then, but the admins made it clear that there was some deeper issue that I accidentially brought into a pretty pointless arguement.

It breaks my heart to leave the community at all, and I hope at least some of you will be able to keep positive memories of me. I might return next year for the advent calendar but wit hthe situation as untenable as it is right now, I will not be able to return to the community. I will still receive PMs in here over my mails and for some time I am still in CP6's Discord, so if anyone wants to contact me about anything, feel free to do so. Otherwise, thanks for all the fun and the arguments and the controversies and have a great 2026.

Driving Home for Christmas

I picked this entry for the final door not just because of its extraordinary quality, but because it reflects something that many of use feel around these holidays. Many of us get in the car, on a bike or train or even a plane to go home to spend Christmas with family. But of course it's impossible to separate Christmas as a family holiday from consumerism. I think this piece absolutely nails the atmosphere and therefore is a well deserved 24th door.

And believe me, you will want to download this one!

Bonus: chAsiNg aFteR yOu

Also, I received a bonus entry earlier today, which is also why the file is not ready yet. It will be uploaded to the database together with the rest of the entires. While this screenshot captures the entire size of the submission, there is more still to see in-game. But I think for now even this snippet shows a high quality and something that I always had in mind when I first proposed to run this advent calendar a year ago.

Acknowledgements:

A lot of people have thanked me for running this event, but I never really feel deserving of it. After all, what I do from my side is the smallest part. Receiving these amazing creations, bring them into some sort of order and then releasing them with more-or-less well written little texts. In reality, the thanks should go to the creators contributing, three of which participating with more than one entry. Thank you, you are the real stars. And also, thanks again to the admin team who did their best to get these files checked and ready for release, even if the files came in later and more short term than last year.

I will be back tomorrow to reveal the full list of builders and wrap-up this calendar for this year.

Antwerp in Snow
 
This is another week where the question "who built that?" is very easy to answer. This is because today's entry is a christmas version of a 2025 spotlight: Revelations of Stonehenge! The entry focuses on the Antwerp section and finally answer the question we all had in mind for the last three months: How would it look in snow?

Diamond Dust

We are back to our regular programming with an entry of a style that has become very familiar to those who follow the advent calendar. A coaster, surrounded by somewhat abstract theming all in white and light blue. As we are heading inevitably towards Christmas Eve and the grand finale, take a breather and observe this neat little creation.
