Ana’s Advent Calendar 2013
Do you remember, if you were lucky, having an advent calendar as a child? The traditional kind had small, perforated paper windows to open for each day of December. Each day’s window revealed a small surprise. Usually it was a piece of chocolate or candy. I never had one, but I envied the children who did. Guess what? We’re going to have an Advent Calendar, but we’re going to do it my way!
How will the advent calendar work, Ana style? There will be rules. Of course there will be rules.
- Sign up! (Bonus point if you sign up before December 1st!) Be sure to leave your email address (so I can contact you if you are a winner) and book preferences (S for spanking, K for kinky or edge, and V for vanilla)! This will ensure that I track your comments to give you credit for each day that you play. If you have any trouble leaving a comment, please let me know immediately by email. If you do not sign up, you will not get credit for your entries!
- Play daily. Leave a comment responding to a post or answering a daily Advent Calendar question. Only one comment per post will count as an entry, but you are welcome and encouraged to leave additional comments as part of the conversation.
- Check for the winner list on Christmas Day! Those who participate the most will win!
Yup, that’s it! Oh, you want more rules? Well, if you insist. ;)
- Surprise Checks! Prizes will be awarded during random “surprise checks” throughout the month. It may be the first person to post on a certain day, a randomly selected commenter on a randomly selected day, the first person to mention a secret word, or anything else. Surprise!
- Perfect Attendance award! Everyone who comments every day (by midnight EST on the day of each post) of the month will win a small surprise.
- Free book days! A few authors will be offering one or more books free on select days in December. Check for details on the blog throughout the month.

Guess what everyone? The inspiration for the wee elf in the corner was our very own Ms Ana! Yes, I kept thinking about how naughty she is and my pencil flew! Katie did such a wonderful job with the banner!!
I can’t wait Ana this is so much fun!!
HEY! That’s not me! I’m innocent, I tell you! :)
Thank you for the wonderful artwork, Minelle!
You are welcome!
I LOVE the artwork! LOL and I agree, Ana is most definitely the naughty elf in the corner. :)
Sue! I’m telling Mrs. Claus. That is most definitely not me in the corner. I’m sure it’s Minelle. Or Katie. Or you.
Great Art work Minelle! LOL..sorry Ana you get my vote as corner girl!
hugs abby
lol…hey!! I protest!
:D Hugs back.
heh a naughty elf :D for my part, I didn’t think it was supposed to be you, Ana :D
Joelle, I always knew I liked you! Thank you, dear. Please help yourself to one of Mrs. Claus’ famous sugar cookies.
Seriously Joelle? You know she is our very own mischief maker!
MINELLE! Don’t take away the ONE person who actually voted for me.
I am on you’re side! You deserve attention with that spoon!!
Hey! No, you’re not on my side if you’re voting for Katie. I’m withholding your paycheck, too.
*grumbles about rebellious friends*
well if you must know, MInelle, my specialty is bratting- just ask my Master :D so it’s just as likely that it’s me in the corner :D
Let it be known, by said graphic designer of Minelle’s brilliant work of art, that when she talked to me about that drawing, the ELF was most definitely our very own ANA!!!! If one glances at the font to the left, and notes the detail in the “A” of ANA, one can see that I painstakingly painted layers of polka dots in photoshop to match Ana’s very own panties that are, umm, pulled down in the picture. Let’s just say that naughty elf Ana had best think about her behavior and why she is in that corner!!!! :P
I love working with you and Minelle on this stuff! It’s been so much fun! Such talented friends!! :) Ana- you’ve worked really hard setting this up! It is appreciated! I cannot wait to play! Many hugs and <3 to the spanked elf in the corner,
Katie
That does it, Katie! I’m withholding your paycheck. :D
Thank you for all of the time you put into making the banner and button so great. Really makes all the work with it.
I shall tell the elf that she is receiving hugs. Since that is NOT me. Hmph.
And don’t you dare tattle on Mrs. Claus about me. :P
YES! Those panties are definitely polka dotted and Ms ANA is the naughty elf!! Good going Katie, that makes it all shine! Her red butt that is!!
Aw come on, you two! No fair ganging up on little sweet Ana. I will protest.
Protest all you want it doesn’t change the truth…and may make your stay in the corner just that much longer!
Hey! You can’t tell me what to do!
Don’t think she’s ‘telling’ you what to do…them’s the rules…the more you protest, the longer you stay in the corner! :D
CAT!! You’re supposed to be my friend!
Want to bet??? I have pen and paper!
Geesh, everyone! I’m trying to be a professional author here…have some respect! :P
Elf Ana needs more attention with that wooden spoon, Minelle. Let’s see… Seems as though a certain naughty elf is arguing. Doesn’t it???
Paging Mrs. Claus to Blogland!!
YES!! You are right arguing gets you a red bottom and more time in the corner….with Mrs. Claus.
As Katie says…RELENTLESS!
Yikes! Shh..there’s no need to call Mrs. Claus. I’m sure she is VERY busy getting ready for the season. We don’t want to make her crabby, do we?
You have a choice to make dear!
You are not allowed to use my lines against me. Hmph.
On the contrary, Miss Ana Naughty Elf in the Corner, there is clearly satisfaction to be had in reusing a certain person’s lines!!!! Don’t you want to make all of Blogland happy as we start the holiday season??
Yes she must make her choice, Minelle!!!! Oh and the only paycheck that I need is for ELF ANA to behave!!! And if that means more Mrs. Claus then so be it!!! :D
Sorry Ana but the artist said that you were the elf waiting for a spanking. After all the work you did on Spank or Treat and getting the Advent Calendar organized, you know you need it. ;)
Kudos to Minelle and Katie on the artwork and graphics! Looking forward to the fun!
Hugs and blessings to, as Katie said “the spanked elf in the corner!” :D
Cat
Hmph. You’re next. Cat, and I mean next!
Whether I need it is beside the point. Naughty you.
I shall convey your hugs and blessings to the spanked elf in the corner who is NOT me. :D
Ana! And I was even nice enough to put a link to this post on my blog! Sheesh!!!
Ooh, thank you Cat! Going to look now. But you are still next.
Cat I can pencil in a second elf by the name of Cat!
She deserves it. But you and Katie deserve it more.
Cat??? No don’t do that to her, Minelle!!! Her posts make me smile. She goes in the nice corner. Not the naughty one where Elf Ana is!
Thank you Katie! :D <3
Minelle! What did I do to you?
Don’t question Minelle. She’s the talented artist who made this all happen. You should listen to her, Cat. :)
ANA! Why is it you can question Minelle when she’s doing something you don’t agree with but I’m just supposed to listen without questioning? Hmmm…something doesn’t sound right about that! ;)
Because I bribe…er, I mean I show my appreciation to Minelle in other ways. ;)
Hello, everyone! It’s very important that I announce to you that by the kind consent of Mrs. Claus herself, *I* am the elf!
(Did I do that right? LOL)
HOORAY! Love ya, Emily. You’re my hero. It’s official, everyone.
Well, that explains it! Emily and Ana are the same person…
Emily!!!!??? Nice to meet you! But umm… once again that elf IS ANA!!!! If she is bribing you with candy cane treats, etc., well, that is not allowed. Minelle. Are you there? Talk to Mrs. Claus, would you. More corner time in order!
Nobody has to bribe me to take a spanking. :D
See, Katie? :D
It’s obvious that the elf is indeed ANA! The poka-dots on the undies gives it away…~giggles~ Such a cute elf too!
Hey! :P We’ll see who’s laughing once Mrs. Claus visits. :D
Makes me imagine another picture
Minelle nad Katie – you are both so talented that it is scary!
And the elf is most definitely Ana because I happen to know the shop she purchased those knickers from!
Didn’t you know I am (ahem!) something of an authority on knickers! Are there any other naughty little elves who want a Christmas pair, tinsel included – believe me I can arrange shipping!
Ami we need to talk! Let’s send Ana a pair!!Hmmmmmm what color?
You name the colour and I’ll find some!
Ami!! I thought we were friends! You swore not to tell about the shops. Just because I don’t have the luxurious designer knickers that you have…
Minelle needs a pair of polka-dotted panties because she’s next for the corner.
Tinsel knickers? Now I’ve heard it all! Photo, please? :)
You wait Missus!!! I am now determine to track them down! And I have lots of polka-dotted knickers, pure organic cotton, extremely comfortable, and with contrasting lace around the legs!
I shall do my best to send you a photo! LOL!
Love the conversation going on here! I think I will stand at the sidelines and let you all work it out. :-) I do appreciate the beautiful talent of Minelle and Katie and the creative efforts of Ana to host this event and I can’t wait to participate…sign me up please! (terpsichore7atgmaildotcom) :-) Maybe I’m not supposed to sign up yet – does that mean I’ve broken the rules already??? perhaps I should read the instructions again as I did not sleep much last night :-) Anyhow…have a happy day!
LOL The sign up sheet isn’t up yet, but it will be up soon. Never fear! Head Elf Ana (NOT in the corner) will make everything clear.
I can’t wait to have you play! It will be so much fun.
Hope you get some sleep! Maybe you shouldn’t get so many spankings into the wee hours of the night. Hehe.
I wish :-)
Hmmmm Terps should I add you to the naughty elf list?
What color panties do you want??
Oh, is that Terps in the corner? I guess she needs polka-dotted ones. :)
wait…I thought I said I wasn’t getting into this :-) I am never naughty…and do not own any polka dotted panties I am afraid :-)
…yet, you mean? Oh, Ami…..we need your knicker-shopping expertise, my dear. Thank you! Love and hugs from across the pond.
I can remedy that little situation!
I am never naughty :-)
So there’s a spanking for fibbing, hm?
me??? I would never fib… :-)
Let’s ask Mrs. Claus, shall we?
I can feel a post about the perspicacity of having a large and varied knicker collection coming on….
Laughed out loud there. :D
Me, too! But I shall never own a pair of knickers with polka dots.
Hey all you that are threatening each other with Mrs. Claus…didn’t she dish out spankings last year for elves threatening others with spankings in her name and for tattletales? If so, all y’all better hope she doesn’t read this conversation! Oh and Emily…Mrs. Claus doesn’t give GG spankings so ya might want to rethink volunteering to take Ana’s place! :D
Ummmm. Maybe. But Mrs. Claus is very busy in a land far, far away. If she does show up, I’ll send her to you. With all of my love. :D
And shh…Emily doesn’t know that. Yet.
I don’t like GG spankings anyway. If it’s not a punishment, why bother? :p
Ooh, yes! Deal is still on!
How fun! It’s begun!
Hooray! Watch your naughty backside…this group is relentless. :)
Ooh this is so much fun. Can’t wait! The artwork is awesome! Kudos to Minelle and Katie. Giggling at all the comments above LoL
Hugs,
Roz
Yay! Will be fun to have you playing. Do please ignore the nonsense above. :D
Where and when do I sign up? This sounds like fun!
The sign-up sheet will be available a little bit later. Will be delighted to have you!
So excited for this!!!
We are certainly in the company of some amazing talent!!!
It will be so much fun to have you play. :)
Thanks so much, again, Ana, for the invitation to participate and donate something. Should be a blast!
Great to have you on board, Elise! Be sure to share on FB, Twitter, and your blog. :)
I would like to be part of the Ana’s advent calendar
Great! Look for a sign-up sheet posted in the next week or so. :)
Wow, it looks like there’s certainly no shortage of polka dots over here!! Where were you on Thursday when I needed all those dots? ;)
Hi Riley! Hope you were able to come up with what you needed. :)
This sounds like fun. I can’t wait to play!
YAY!
How do I play the Advent Calendar contest?
You can sign up on Monday (November 25th) for the pre-registration. Then come back on Sunday, December 1st for the first Advent Calendar post. Leave a comment each day December 1st-24th and come back on the 25th to see who has won prizes. There will also be prizes along the way. :)
This sounds exciting. Looking forward to November 25

Let fun begin
Got it!
Well, my goodness! All sorts of orneriness going on here! I missed this post when it came out. Glad you linked to it from your sign-up post, Ana. The comments are a riot! :-)
Okay, spill. Why is everyone ganging up on you? Make it a good enough excuse – err… reason – and I’ll run interference for you. Nobody should have to wear those scary elf shoes and funky polka-dot knickers without good cause!
Please do run interference! There can’t be any real reason because everyone knows Mrs. Claus loves me. :D
Ak! Nearly choked on me Special K, such was the cheekiness of this cheeky fib.
Mrs Claus is going to leave your bottom as red as her dress if you’re not careful :P
Sign be up please!!!!
Please give the information for the sign up, Tracey. :)
Don’t remember if I sent you this but George K wants to be signed up.
