For many people this time of year is all about the little details, the special things. 
First-time contributor to the Advent Calendar dmeck7755 brings us a fabulous selection.

(mod's note: Lucky me, I've had the opportunity to study this since its submission, and I see new delights and details every time!)

Job, that's a great start to the story; be waiting for more!

dmeck7755, what a well-stocked apothecary! If I ask before buying, will they tell me why the candy canes are... vibrating...?

dmeck7755 That's a great piece, it's so detailed and you've come up with so many different designs for the bottles while making sure they all look like they belong on the same shelves.

JoB, that looks like a great location for a settlement.
Would you believe that, given that ship travel to the Northern reaches of Sweden only touches Skellefteå and Luleå (as shown on the Map of the Known World), I did one zoom-in into the area on Google Maps to pick it ... :3

(Which probably means that thousands of Swedes stampeded to it in Y0 after a single glance at a map of their country, making it Grossling Central for the foreseeable future ... ;) )

I love the insights into everyday SSSS life you're giving us.
Uhhh I'm afraid it won't feel much like everyday post-Rash (winter) life to the protagonists from here on out ... >:D

There is quite a number of items having motion lines that I would normally expect to be immobile, short of someone running headlong into the typical Christmas Market stall (that you can disassemble into six or so flat wood panels and conveniently store somewhere for the rest of the year) that this shelf could well be in. I'm more concerned about the levitating carrot. :o

Dmeck, that's beautiful! Although I am a bit concerned as to how some of these substances were extracted. (Hoping Spirit of Elf was just stolen from the Elf's hipflask, for example.)

Sometimes you just want to go back and remember a sweet treat from years past. Antillanka provides, in unforgettable fashion, from the 2017 Calendar.

We can think it comes from the elves themselves, rendering them smaller, but not dead.  They then get the promotion to being the “elf on the shelf”. Until they grow back up. 

Things like reindeer poo are self-explanatory ;)

I am really good with color.  The image came from a coloring app.  I only just started drawing again (with varied results, mostly poor )

They are magic.  That was why Yukon Cornelius was looking for it.

(Cornelius was a character in an old American holiday special called Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It was stop-motion animation.  First aired in 1964.  Yikes!!!)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058536/


Also Job’s explanation could be spot on.  Though we can also think it is the holiday season and all the elements are anticipating getting released/uses for the season.
