Rules for 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway-a-Day

As I mentioned in the introduction post, there will be contests during this event. I call it the 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway-a-Day. (I know, original title).

Starting tomorrow (Decemeber 2nd) there will be a new contest posted every day for 12 days. I scoured the world to find as many Christmas or holiday themed books as I can, and here's your chance to win them!

Unfortunately with contests also comes rules. Rather than repost these every day I'm posting the "long version" of the rules here. You'll see an abbreviated version of these on every contest post, but these rules apply to EVERY contest posted in the next few days. You've been warned.

1. All contests will be open until midnight on December 20th, 2009. This is so I can get the prizes off to you before Christmas if possible.

2. Everyone is allowed one automatic entry into the contests. There will be details on how to win extra entries on individual posts. If you cannot enter by commenting, you can email me your entry.

3. When commenting, do NOT leave your email address in the comments! This is to protect your privacy. Any comments with emails will be deleted and you won't be entered.

4. Winners will have 3 days (72 hours) to send me their address once winners are announced on December 21st. If the prize has not be claimed by then a new winner will be chosen.

5. All contests are open internationally unless otherwise specified.

6. No dishonesty is allowed! Those caught cheating will have all entries deleted from all current and all future contests. Period.

7. Extra entries will be noted on each individual contest. However, you can also gain extra entries by doing the following. Mention these with your contest entries (not this post) or you will not gain credit.

+5 (one time) for submitting a guest post
+1 (for each contest) for grabbing the A Shady Glade Christmas button. You can find it at the bottom of this post.

And now that the rules are over, you will find each giveaway as it is posted linked below. Keep checking back to see each new contest!

Hey, there's nothing wrong with having a "12 Days of Christmas" event. It's such a great title - that's why everybody uses it! Personally, I'm just thrilled that you're having 12 Christmas-themed giveaways. Have I mentioned recently that Christmas is my favorite holiday? :D
