holiday blogger challenges

We welcome and encourage all v/bloggers and individuals to help us share the holiday magic by participating in our Holiday Blogger Challenges.   Find what you feel inspires, delights, and captivates you about the SL Christmas Expo and choose one, or all, of the Holiday Challenges.  

The challenges are open for anyone to do: you do not have to be an official SL Christmas Expo blogger.  You don’t even have to be a blogger at all if you want to do these Holiday Challenges.  

Remember to share your challenges with us. There is even a Flickr pool you can share the Holiday Photo challenge to.  

The Holiday Challenges for 2023 are:  

Christmas Stories

 Special Holiday Gift

Why You Support The American Cancer Society 

and the ever popular Holiday Photos/Videos.

Challenges run from December 1 – 10, 2023

Christmas Memories

Christmas STORIEs

We hope you will join us and once again and share your favorite Christmas stories and memories.    Remember how you would wake up in the middle of the night to the sounds of crinkling paper and jingle bells,  your heart pounding with exhilaration.  Let your gaze linger on the glimmering lights and ornaments as if you were seeing them for the first time.  Did you make snow angels?   Did your family celebrate in a special way? Do you have special Christmas memories of celebrating with your children or grandchildren?

Please use pictures from the SL Christmas Expo regions and/or items from the SL Christmas Expo Vendors in your blog piece.

Special Gift

Wander the grounds of the SL Christmas Expo and discover a shop you have never heard of before.  Blog about one of their items in the SL Christmas Expo vendors that gives you the warm and fuzzies, that captivates and delights you, that brings back a Christmas memory. Find that special holiday gift suggestion.  This is a fantastic opportunity to discover new or hidden talents in Second Life. Maybe you come across two or three new shops, there is no limit to the number you can blog about.

ACS What It Means

why you support the american cancer society

Almost everyone we know has been touched by cancer in one way or another.  As a survivor, a caregiver, as a family member, a friend, or a coworker.  The Holiday season can be an emotional time, both good and bad, for survivors and caregivers, along with their families and friends. This challenge is for those who have a personal reason to support the American Cancer Society. If you would like to share your reasons for supporting The American Cancer Society or share your story of hope, or why you support our mission to Fight Childhood Cancer, you are welcome to participate in this challenge.

Please use pictures from the SL Christmas Expo regions and/or items from the SL Christmas Expo vendors in your blog piece.
