Upcoming Christmas activity: teaser & thoughts

EmilieT — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 14:36:34 GMT

Hi everyone,

Can you believe we're only 44 days away from Christmas?

For those of you who were around during the holidays last year, you might remember that we had our very own Community Advent Calendar. Between December 1st and December 25th, @Marjo @Martin-O2 and myself posted one holiday-themed topic per day. Each day, we unlocked the corresponding window in the calendar and linked it to the relevant thread - it was a lot of fun!

This year, we'd like to follow a similar Advent calendar format, with a twist: we'd like to mix some topics from us, with some topics by yourselves! This could be on anything festive or holidays-related (a game, a tradition, an activity, a general discussion, you name it!).

Anyone who would like to help us fill in that community advent calendar will be welcome to use the Drafting Room to write up their topic in advance, and if they'd like one of the Community Team members can make sure that topic goes live on the dedicated day

Without going into too much details, we wanted to check in with you guys, to see who would be potentially interested in taking part in this activity, and start a topic that could go in the calendar? We'll be talking to you all more about details privately soon, but would love to hear your initial thoughts on this plan

Hi everyone!

I'm so excited about this! Just wanted to share a quick update on how our planning is going. We have 12 out of 25 topics scheduled so far!

Please let us know if you'd like to participate in the topic creation for a specific date(s) and help us fill in the advent calendar for the rest of the 13 days. We will then contact you via PM to discuss the details!
