Advents thread start date?

I see there are a few blogs and companies on Facebook starting daily giveaways from Nov 1st so will the Advent thread start then or will such comps just be added to the dailies?

    They would be posted normally and added to he normal daily thread. I imagine the advent thread would be started some point in November as that's when companies tend to start mentioning advent comps. From the other thread, someone posted quite a good description of advents:

    As Becky says, they're a mixed bag, as with normal competitions. The only thing they have in common is that you enter once a day, and they run through December (usually up to the 24th, but not always), with a Christmas/advent theme! Some of them won't even be daily - some are weekdays only, some have offers some days instead of prizes. It's all different companies, so they can of course do what they like.
