Original SourceI love this time of year, more so for the joy on the faces of my children. My family visited Santa this morning, my daughter and grandson were very excited.
Usually we struggle at Christmas time, as I am not able to go out to work due to my health. We normally have to get into debt to make ends meet trying to provide our children with a good Christmas. This year, however, Santa gave us an early gift in the form of the incredible recent rise in value of SBD. As such we didn't need to take out a loan, meaning this year will be a happy, stress-free Christmas, thanks to Steem.
Having been busy in real life today, I have not had much of a chance to do my normal curation, meaning my voting power is quite high. To spread the good cheer, this is the first of five little contests I plan to run up until Christmas Eve.
So, what's this all about?
Firstly, I would like comments below. Not just any comment mind you, oh no. I want to hear how you are celebrating Christmas this year, or if there is anything you are particularly thankful for this festive season. What plans do you have? Are you visiting loved ones? If Christmas isn't your thing, not to worry. Substitute Christmas for whatever holiday you celebrate around this time of year. Maybe something uplifting about your loved ones? A charitable cause you have supported? Something in that spirit.
I will save my voting power to upvote the best comments, anything from $0.25 to $1 for as long as I can. I would encourage others to spread a little of their own festive cheer by doing the same to the best comments.
Oh, is that it?
No, and I am glad you asked. What I plan to do is to award the SBD payout from these mini contest posts to the very best comments I receive. In total there will be five contests, with 1 winner from each receiving a nice little present from Muxxy seven days after posting.
You can help here too by sharing these posts and upvoting them, to increase the prizes. It's certainly not compulsory, but is another way of helping to spread the festive cheer.
