Compared to 2007's 25 Days of Christmas, the 12 Days of Christmas collection was a spur of the moment decision.  I hadn’t planned on doing an advent calendar in 2008, but figured somebody else would.  On November 30, some girls from JSOR and I were chatting about nobody doing an Hanfic advent calendar, so on December 1, I launched a majorly scaled back version of the advent calendar.
