    To answer your question, can I just say, be afraid - be VERY afraid.

    I think most here would agree that there are one or two more comps around during the advent season ;)

    Suggestions, stock up on aspirin for wrist/headaches to come, and break up with your family/friends/partner now. It'll save precious time later.

  • This is my first year doing xmas comps as well.

    What are these 'advents' that are always being talked about?

    Basically alot of companies do a competition a day in December so a sort of "advent". Have you seen the dailies thread? Think that but ALOT worse!

    I started comping last September and honestly, advents were a shock to the system (okay they brought me my first wins) and I'll be much better prepared this year... :D

    Tiring, but great fun.
