Carousel advent calendar blocks potential impressions of featured scripts

[WilliamVenner]

Feature

During November, whilst the advent calendar is inactive, the advent calendar advertisement is always shown as the first spot in the front page carousel, but the most likely thing a user will want to see is a featured script; they'll see the advent calendar advertisement once, then all other impressions of it will be pointless from thereinafter, blocking potential impressions of featured scripts.

A different location for the inactive advent calendar advertisement would be nice, would logically drive more sales overall, would result in better ROI on our script features and therefore more $ for the platform as we'll be more inclined to feature stuff during Christmas.

Additional Information

During Christmas, what would be infinitely more useful to the user is something that says "you have N unused coupons from the advent calendar!" and/or "you have one unopened square!"

The design of the advent system currently makes it difficult to handle. There are options while inactive (though this would likely reduce signups to the event, perhaps mitigatable with a CC sysmsg?) It's probably late for this year's event though.
