2022: Month of Celebration

[Quincy]

Hi everyone!

It’s that time of year again where we hold our 6th annual Month of Celebration here on the Community Center.

For the newcomers to the CC, we’ve been running this festival every year since 2017 – it works a little bit like an advent calendar. For each day of December, a different community member posts a new topic about something positive or inspirational. We cover both hosting and non-hosting related topics: from nice stories, personal experiences, helpful tips, milestones, traditions, fun facts, and anything else that brings a smile to someone's face! Every year, we’ve shared some great conversations, laughs, and celebrated our wonderful community.

Last year, we had some wonderful topics, including Robin4's with Life is full of coincidences and a festive treat from Huma0 with Christmas: What will you be cooking? The possibilities of writing topics are endless. You can take a look at last years' here, for some inspiration.

If you would like to get involved, please reply to this thread and let us know which date (or dates) you would like to post a topic. I hope you will all enjoy this dose of positivity, whether you get involved or just read and share your thoughts on others' posts. 😄

Enjoy! ✨

Quincy

Hi there @Soraya19! I'm happy to hear that you'd like to participate! I've put your name for the 16th of December, if that's ok? 😊 I will be sending you some more info via private message shortly

Very nice idea, I would like to share how I ended up putting my listing in Airbnb and became passionate about it and finally ask the community what is their story. December 9 or 16.

[Quincy]

Hi @Heliana2, that sounds lovely! I've noted you down on the calendar for the 9th of December! 

I will also be reaching out to you shortly with some more info 😊

@Quincy @Laurelle3 @Emilie OK....since I can't resist that Tap dancing challenge from my pal Laurelle....I'd like to ask for after Christmas...like the 28th. 

I'm holding a very exciting Host Meet Up in our area and having a very awesome experience for the Hosts...it's a surprise till they arrive that evening so I can't tell you guys but should be loads of fun and a surprise they might not be expecting...

That might be something to share...? Or I'll tap into something else ... hahaha 💥❤️

[Quincy]

That sounds lovely @Clara116! 🤩 

[Emilie]

@Clara116 Wonderful idea! So happy you can join us again this year Clara 💛

[Laurelle3]

@Quincy I think we should sing out to @Clara116 or should we say Tap Dancing her way. Come on Clara I am sure you can Tip Toe Thru the Tulips.

What fun! We have a fun community event at the beginning of December. I'd be happy to take the day after that so I can include pictures. How about December 4th?

Sheila

[Quincy]

Hi @Sheila646, just checking, but are you still ok with posting on the 4th? I haven't heard back yet from you yet 🙂

[Sheila646]

Yes. I have a draft written up and plan to collect photos tomorrow night. 😄 Thank you for following up. 

[Kelly-And-Dan0]

Hello from the Journey’s End in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York! We are excited to participate in this lovely community and would ask for the 23rd please.

Kelly & Dan

[Emilie]

@Kelly-And-Dan0 Really excited to have you on board! The 23rd is all yours, I'll follow-up shortly via Direct Message with a little bit more detail as well. 😊

Speak soon, 

Emilie

Hi @Sheila646! Glad to hear that you'd like to participate! The 4th of December is all yours now! 😃

[Sheila646]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it. 

[Helen427]

Thanks @Quincy  For the invite, will it be the same as last year if there's more than one person wanting the same date?

Do we have to do a video to?

To those who are new you can find the other previous years contributors here in CC and I can highly recommend partaking as it's a fun community international Festival.

Add me in @Quincy, however I'm not sure of which date yet.

[Quincy]

Hi @Helen427, how about Monday the 12th of December? 👀

[Laurelle3]

@Helen427 Great to see you from Across the Ditch with a New Zealand touch. 

[Quincy]

Hi @Helen427! I think we've got a lot of free spaces left, so we're quite flexible! A topic would be preferred for the Month of Celebration 😊

Do you have a specific date in mind? 👀
