The first 12 days of Christmas have been filled with amazing guest posts from some truly fabulous women but its back to business as usual now, well almost because its nearly Christmas. Squeeeeeeal!

So we have celebrated Christmas on the Lilypad for the last 12 days and trust me we will continue to enjoy it way past the 25th but there are lots of competitions around to enter to keep you in the spirit of Christmas long after the decorations have been taken down.

We are not promoting a December Lilypad competition and although we do love a good giveaway, we run enough of them over the year but at this time of year there are competitions on every website and serial compers entering them all. So unless you are a serial competition entrant, how do you choose which ones to enter? There is a general consensous that you shouldn't enter competitions unless you really want the prize, we know many dissapointed websites who have run competitions only to find that the entrants think the prizes "will sell well on Ebay" which isnt really the point is it?

So you have more chances of winning the more you enter right? So what if you have the chance to win prizes every day until Christmas, now that sounds good to me. MyFamilyClub are presently running their Advent Competition which runs until the 24th December and they wanted me to share this with our fabulous Lilypad readers. There are genuinely some amazing gifts (although I think the years supply of Jelly Beans on the 10th December may have been my personal favourite) but with different prizes every day, there has to be something for everyone.

A competition prize is something that you may wish for but dont really ever anticipate getting. A little like an unexpected Gift this Christmas.
