"Based on recent events we wanted to be respectful of the many feelings within the CC and so we weren't sure if anyone would like to do it this year"
For sure, there are a lot of strong feelings and high emotions swirling round the CC at the moment, @Lizzie - and understandably so! - but I genuinely don't think that any of us would want that to interfere with the Month of Celebration plans, in any way.
We all know and respect how much work you, Steph and Quincy put into making these events happen, and how much fun and enjoyment the hosts who do contribute, get out of participating. And regardless of what's going on or what's not going on, I'm pretty sure there's not a single host amongst us who would ever want you, or the hosts who do take part, to feel that your efforts aren't very much appreciated, and enjoyed, even by the most cynical old boots in the group! (And yes, I'm looking at me!)
I've explained to you before my reasons for not contributing, and I can't speak for others, but I'd imagine their reasoning may be similar to mine, but that doesn't mean that we don't still derive great pleasure and enjoyment from reading the wonderfully festive posts from hosts such as @Helen427 and others.
We're all grown adults here @Lizzie (well, most of the time, anyway! 😉), and I doubt there are too many of us who don't love a good Christmas story or two, so it would be a real shame if you were considering shelving the Month of Celebration this year, for any reason!
Looking forward to seeing what a fabulous event you guys put together this year! 🎄🎁🍾
