1-31 December 2020
For each day of December leading up to Christmas, click on the link below to access the RRRC Advent Calendar and see what 'task' has been set for you! (Needless to say, there are 24 tasks hidden behind doors on the calendar.)
Advent calendar
Some tasks involve reading but some are things for you to do at home, on GR or with us. Books can be any length - there is no page minimum. 'Tis the season' so books that fit these festivities (Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa) are the aim, but are not a rule.
Tasks can only be accessed once the day has commenced. If you miss a day, you can go backwards, but you can't see tasks ahead of you.
Tasks open at midnight of the new day in your timezone.
Don't worry if you don't finish each task each day - you have the whole of December to finish your tasks.
Rules
* there is no minimum page requirement
* you can only see each day's task once it hits 12.00am in your timezone
* you have the whole month of December to complete your 24 tasks
* starts on 1 December in your timezone
