As I said in my last post, I’ve yielded to the fact that the holidays are upon us. And I’m getting ready. Not just in the commercial way by making lists and buying presents, but also by really working to support the SPIRIT of the holidays. I’m excited to be an official blogger for the SL Christmas Expo, for the second year in a row. This year’s theme is the Magic of Christmas, and The Christmas Expo Mission is to fight childhood cancer. If you follow me, then you probably know that I blog quite frequently for events supporting the fight against cancer, and I personally find cancer at its absolute worst when it strikes its smallest victims. This event is really special, because it not only offers some of SL’s shopping at its best but it provides all of us with the opportunity to help give the gift of hope to those who really need it most at the time of year when belief in magic and good things can run strongest.
I know I’ll be blogging quite a bit about this very special event and all it has to offer, but there’s no way anyone could ever possibly cover it all with a few posts. Here’s the official statement: The 9th annual Second Life Christmas Expo will be held on December 5 – 15, 2019 and is a mega event that raises funds for the American Cancer Society. The expo will be supporting Childhood Cancer initiatives of The Society. All proceeds of the Expo will be directed to support research and palliative efforts to help children with cancer.
The 2019 Second Life Christmas Expo will consist of both holiday and non-holiday items from some of the best creators and designers in Second Life, spread across 8 sims! The Expo will feature special events, including live performances, dance performances, djs, skating parties, a Snowman Building Contest, The Holiday Stockings, The Gift Of Hope Mega Raffles, a Christmas Tree & Wreath Lot, holiday raffles and gotchas, and so much more! The Holiday Of Hope Ball, for the 9th year running, will be held at the Christmas Expo. We have our Winter Breedables Fair with several of SL’s top Breedable Creators donating One Of A Kind Breedables to be auctioned. And back by popular demand is the Christmas Bazaar area. This year’s theme is Believe In The Magic Of Christmas with beautifully designed regions, all making for a great holiday shopping event.
I definitely hope to see you there and that you’ll help support our fight against cancer. Until then, still lots of getting ready to do!!!! Happy shopping!
