12/2: Decided to increase the deadline for all the giveaways to the day before Christmas Eve, so all the lucky winners will be informed of their prizes the night before Christmas!! Plus, some giveaways are just beginning a day or two before the cut off, and it wouldn't be fair to have some giveaways ended prematurely.
12/7: Some of the post that were on the same day as special guest posts have been rescheduled for later in the month. Spreading the fun for the month ;)
12/10: Decided to make the Collection of Christmas-Themed Reads a yearly thing. Editions (or Parts) to the collection will be made every Christmas! Send in your suggestions and it might make the collection next year!
12/15: Another Author has been added to the Christmas With the Novelist week!! Her post will go up Sunday!
12/15: There will be no X-mas Eve facebook chat this year since I will be working the overnight shift at my real-life job. =( sorry! The Winner Announcments for all the giveaways WILL be made, though!
