#LightTheWorld

Last year, in the run up to Christmas, I ran with the LightTheWorld social media campaign on steemit and it seemed to go down quite well.

The purpose of the campaign is to try to remember the real meaning of the Christmas season. In many parts of the world the season has been hijacked by commercialism and turned into and seemingly endless parade of tinsel and tassels, spending, presents and ofttimes overindulgence of ourselves and others.

Its almost as if its become a month long obeisance to the "god of materialism" so much so that its now more frequently referred to as "the silly season."

How far this diverges from the real meaning of Christmas...

So as an antidote the campaign suggests 25 ways in 25 days to readjust our focus and realign ourselves with what we should be reminded of and focusing on.

So that's the introductory video, If you want a sneak peak of more that's to come you can check it out here

I plan to mix things up a little this year...

I will post some to get and keep the ball rolling, but as with last year I will be getting some help from @hanshotfirst. His children loved the activities so much last year he was more than willing to help out when I was going to be offline for a week or two.

To rotate things around alot we will be inviting fellow steemians to put their "spin" on the suggestions. @hanshotfirst and I will (perhaps some others too) will also be voting up contributions from you.

We are still figuring out the logistics of how all this will work and other details but in the meantime this is a heads up to keep an eye on the lighttheworld hashtag on steemit and elsewhere.
