Advent calendars are used to count down the days. Doing one every other day defeats the purpose.

I thought the purpose was to be a fun thing we used to kill time over the holidays

Christian holidays are not meant to be fun; literally, the whole theme is about sins, suffering and death (or in this case, being born into life of suffering and culminating with death).

How so? Advent candles increment once per week, which is even lower frequency.
