It’s December, and we’re hosting our second annual Winter Holiday Hunt!

This hunt is meant to celebrate the season of light, and the holidays it brings. We wish all our members a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and an entertaining hunt!

We’ve scattered a stand of evergreen trees around the site. You’ll solve the clues to find the trees and gather them all together.

• Decipher the clues and visit the corresponding LibraryThing pages to find some evergreen trees. Each clue points to a specific page on LibraryThing. Remember, they are not necessarily work pages!
• If there’s an evergreen tree on a page, you’ll see a banner at the top of the page.
• You have a little more than three weeks to find all the trees (until 11:59pm EST, Tuesday January 6th).
• Come brag about your stand of evergreen trees (and get hints) on Talk.

Win prizes:

• Any member who finds at least two evergreen trees will be
  awarded an evergreen tree Badge ().
• Members who find all 15 evergreen trees will be entered into a drawing for one of five LibraryThing (or TinyCat) prizes. We’ll announce winners at the end of the hunt.

P.S. Thanks to conceptDawg for the European goldfinch illustration! ConceptDawg has made all of our treasure hunt graphics in the last couple of years. We like them, and hope you do, too!
