2020: Month of Celebration Lineup

[Katie]

Hey everyone! 

It's been a fantastic start to the Month of Celebration, and just to keep things handy we're going to be gathering all of the posts here, in case you miss any. 

For anyone who is new to the Month of Celebration, it works a little bit like an advent calendar: each day throughout December, a different community member will start a new topic about something positive. We cover a huge range of things, both hosting and non-hosting related, from stories, to experiences, tips, milestones, traditions, fun facts - all sorts.

For those who have yet to partake in a Month of Celebration, leap to it and do one of the days that have yet to be filled.

Have a browse through previous years contributions for ideas.

It's fun and a nice way to end the year and look fwd to a new one.

Looking fwd to seeing your contributions

Day 14 redirected, apologies!

@Katie  Thanks for doing this! Since I don't visit the CC every day, I've missed some of the posts as they get lost down the pages!

[Katie]

Not a problem at all @Suzanne302 - it's really nice to have them all gathered together in one place so that we can go back to them if we didn't catch them the first time 😊

Hey everyone, 

So we've come to the end of the (extended!) Month of Celebration for 2020, and boy was it a good'un! It was great to see some wonderful uplifting stories at a time when we really needed them, and it was also lovely to see some new faces getting involved. I learned a few things, and I was alternately moved, entertained and inspired!

It really made my month, so thank you so much for taking part, and a big shout out to those who read and replied to the posts too - we couldn't have done it without you all 🙏

Hi @Katie ,

A big shoutout to you too who did such a stellar job in organising the entire event. It’s no small feat to have chalked out a month long programme, contact each contributor personally, send timely reminders, follow up with a note of appreciation, and yet make it look so so easy...

There were 38 tellers of tales but just one amazing administrator to guide them all, and in the brightness bind them!😁

Thank you on behalf of all the amazing content creators throughout December!! A big round of applause from us all 👏👏👏👏👏👏
