2022 & 2023 Reading Challenge
December - Advent Calendar Challenge
Duration: December 1 - December 31, 2022

Progress: 24 out of 24

Back by popular demand!

Many countries around the world use advent calendars or Christmas calendars to celebrate the month of December. For some people, the calendar has religious significance, but for others it's a secular, non-religious tradition.

For this challenge, there are two options:

A) Starting on Dec. 1 and ending on Dec. 24, read a short story (or poem or essay) every day. Use stories or poems from collections, magazines, or the internet - there's lot of good short fiction available for free from many publishers.

If you'd rather keep reading past the 24th, you're welcome to try for the whole month!
