Planning for TechGirl’s Advent Calendar

– 30 August 2012Posted in: Advent Calendar, Tech stuff

It is still August and the memories of this summer’s vacation are still fresh in my mind. However, time has a tendency to fly by and in only three short months we start the countdown to Christmas.

The last couple of years I have made a typical Swedish Advent Calendar  on my blogs by giving holiday gift tips every day until Christmas. Since it has received such good results I want to bring it back this season as well.

This year, I am thinking of changing the concept a little. Upgrade it to an Advent Calendar 2.0 so to speak. I have a few ideas I am still considering so nothing is set yet. I do know that I need to start working on this project during September so I can have all the material ready by December 1st.

What would you like to see in a TechGirl Advent Calendar?

Merry Christmas

– 24 December 2011Posted in: Advent Calendar, Tech stuff

Wish you all A Merry Christmas
May the Joys of the season
Fill your heart with goodwill and cheer.
May the chimes of Christmas glory
Add upp more shine and spread
Smiles across the miles,
Today and in the New Year

In Sweden Christmas is celebrated on December 24th. Christmas is a time to celebrate with family and loved ones, eat good food, dance around the christmas tree and relive the magic of christmas from the eyes of a child. I hope all you readers will have merry christmas, and who knows, maybe some of my holiday gift tips will be found under your trees?

As say in Sweden: God Jul!
