2010 Virtual Advent Tour: Day 1


It's time! Today is the first day of the 2010 Virtual Advent Tour! We are very excited to see what everyone shares this year!

Here is where we are stopping off today:

Billy Coffey @ What I Learned Today

Announcing the 2010 Virtual Advent Tour

Kailana from The Written World and Marg from Adventures of an Intrepid Reader are very pleased and excited to announce that we will once again be running the Virtual Advent tour this year. This is the fifth year that we have hosted and we hope that the event has become an integral part of the book blogging community's holiday traditions.

The Virtual Advent tour first started when we pondered why should the kids get all the fun of opening a box on the advent calendar and finding a treat in there, and how could we have some blogging fun with a similar concept? So the Virtual Advent tour was born.

Each day anyone who wants to participate takes turns sharing a treat with our friends here in blogland. For example it could be something about your family traditions, recipes, your country's holiday traditions, or a favourite Christmas memory, movie, book, song...anything you like. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas we would like to hear about what your family does during the holiday season, whether it be celebrating Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever it is that you do during this time.

If you are interested in signing up, then please sign up using the Google form below. If you want a specific date, then please include that along with your name. If you don't need a specific date, then we will allocate a date to you. We will create a list of links so that as people express interest we will add them to the list, and then each day during the tour we will post a link directing visitors to the appropriate blog.

The tour will get away on Wednesday 1 December and run through until Friday December 24. If there are more people than there are days that's fine too.....the more the merrier! It just means that there will be more than one blog to visit on those days.

2010 Advent Calendar Buttons

Welcome to another year of the Advent Calendar! This year we have three buttons for you to choose from for your posts and your sidebar, should you choose. Last year there were a couple requests for buttons for people that do not have snow, so hopefully everyone's needs are met. Once again the buttons are thanks to Court from Once Upon a Bookshelf. They are fantastic!
