<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nWelcome to signups for this year\u2019s Virtual Advent Tour. 2022 marks my eighth year as host of this annual event.<\/p>\n
A traditional Advent calendar is usually a paper device designed to give kids a way to productively channel their holiday energy by counting down from December 1st until Christmas. Each day, you open a door to find a hidden scene, piece of chocolate, or some other treat. The Virtual Advent Tour is a bloggers\u2019 take on that. In our version, each morning I point you to a post at someone\u2019s blog in which they share something about their holiday season.<\/p>\n
Would you be willing to share a holiday post or two in December? You don\u2019t have to declare your topic beforehand, and your post can be as simple or as complex and in any format.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking for inspiration, folks have shared new traditions they\u2019ve adopted, old traditions they keep alive, favorite holiday music, charities, recipes, books, events, memories, and more. <\/p>\n
If this sounds like your type of fun, leave me a comment below noting what day(s) you\u2019d like. I\u2019ll update this post as people claim days.<\/p>\n
A few annual housekeeping notes:<\/p>\n
While both the tradition of the Advent calendar and the timing skew Christian, the tour is inclusive and open to anyone who celebrates December holidays of any sort. We love reading about all kinds of celebrations and the traditions you\u2019ve developed around them!<\/p>\n
I tend to write my posts shortly after midnight my time (Eastern U.S.) and will schedule them to go live at 6 a.m. If your post is live when I\u2019m writing, I\u2019ll give a little preview and link directly to it. However, if it\u2019s not, no worries. I\u2019ll assume you\u2019ll get it live at some point, and will just embed a song and a link to your blog\u2019s homepage.<\/p>\n
Feel free to download and use the 2022 Virtual Advent Tour badge<\/a>. If you want to share on social media, I use the hashtag #VirtualAdventTour on Twitter.<\/p>\nThanks in advance for making this one of my fun December traditions! <\/p>\n
