2018: Month of Celebration

[Lizzie]

Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to share that our Community Month of Celebration is now on its way and we have already had some great topics.

You know, a month ago @Lizzie came in for a bit of stick with Australian hosts over our payout issues!

But can I say I have had three years dealing with Lizzie and her professionalism has always shone through with every aspect of the way she has compiled and run the CC.

Here is yet another example! The month of celebration posts are all easily accessible in this one thread.

Big deal, but we are only at day 4. Wait until day 15 + and all these posts will be available with one click of the rodent!

Thanks again Lizzie for making what we do so much easier. What ever your company pays you....it is not enough!

Cheers.....Rob

Hello @Lizzie and others. What a lovely posts. Thank you all those of you who have already shared their thoughts. There is a lot there to be savoured. Mine is not until later in the month - it has given me a good idea of some of the topics I could / would write about. What  a way to say good bye to 2018!

[Colleen47]

Thanks for a wonderful thought. December started off quickly, our biggest rentals of the year are checking in this weekend, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Now off to relax on the mountain, a perk and side effect of renting our home. @Lizzie

Happy holidays!!!

I really enjoyed writing my post and reading everyone else's. It was great to see so many topics that were not just about problems, although the ones about solving some of those problems were interesting too!
