Advent-ure!

It's that time of year again, when generous creators set out gifts to usher in the season! I'm going to list the Advents I'm doing, and show some of these wonderful firstday prizes, but I also want to link to several ongoing lists that will hopefully cover most of the ground. The hardest part about Advent is advertizing it so people can come, so hopefully this will help spread the word!

Yer Mawm has a long list including the dates for some of the Advents that don't start until the twelth.

Chic at Phil's Place includes some explanations for the more complicated Advents.

Teleport HUD has separated out their Advent lists by ones which cover the full month, and those which are for twelve days.

FreebieCosmos is listing a bunch of advents with their prizes, among other freebies.

I try to keep my advent season reasonable, focusing on free or inexpensive stores, exploring a little into new stores but keeping my focus on old friends. Some old favorites aren't here this year, but a lot of calendars I love are!
