Welcome to the sign up post for the 1st Annual Historical Holiday Blog Hop at Passages to the Past! 

The winter holidays are my favorite time of year and what better way to celebrate than by hosting a blog hop!  Blog hops are great ways to find new and awesome blogs, meet fellow bloggers, build your readership and give away fabulous prizes!   

*This is my first blog hop, so please bear with me as I learn as I go :)

Blog Hop Instructions/Rules

- To sign up: please add your blog URL to the Linky List below and note in parenthesis after your blog name if your giveaway will be open to US, US/Can or Internationally.  

*When the main Blog Hop post is live on December 10th at 12:01am EST you will need to add your link again, but this time you enter in the URL to your direct Blog Hop Giveaway post.

- The blog hop will run from December 10th to 17th.  Posts must be up and accepting entries by 12:01am EST on the first day of the hop and end at midnight on the last day.
