I think calendars-at-Christmas are just because
a) it's the time of year you need a new calendar, and
b) it is fairly easy/cheap to post, and
c) they are clearly related to the place they are sent from

So only a 'tradition' in the meaning that 'people do it year after year' rather than in the meaning that there is a current, or lost, symbolic content. I would love to be corrected on this - also on hankies, bath salts, garden centre vouchers and things in wicker baskets.

PS - Santa, yes, I would like some hankies and bath salts in a wicker basket, or a garden centre voucher to buy the same. I already have a calendar; from the Derbyshire Gypsy Liaison Group - http://www.acert.org.uk/2012/10/derbyshire-gypsy-liaison-group-silver-jubilee-calendar/ - it's wonderful.
