Greetings fellow community members.

Some of you may and some of you may have not seen this before, but usually, we run a series of giveaways for our members around this time of year - and this year will be no exception!

For those of you who are new to this, similar to the Neopets Advent Calendar - we're giving away prizes for most of the Holiday Season. Due to a late start from ... yours truly - this Advent Calendar will be running from December 5th to December 25th - so that's 20 chances to win all throughout december!

This one will be run a little different from last year - everyone who wishes to enter will have to PM me (Dan) and for each one of these days, a member will be chosen at random (completely random, no bias, using a random number generator).

There is no prerequisite to being eligible for the Advent Calendar. Simply PM me, let me know you're interested and your name will go into the hat.

NOTE: There are 20 chances to win, but there are unlimited spots. If we have more than 20 members, I'm afraid some may lose out! Sorry!!
NOTE #2: Upon winning a day's prize, you will be taken off the list for the other days - to make it fair.
NOTE #3: I will attempt to spread prizes around equally each day, but every now and then I might... give a big prize out

This isn't the tombola buddy Anyway, odds are on that you will win something, and anyway, everyone who uses neocodex programs are winners in the long-ish term if they manage to sell their NP before they get iced
