'Tis the Season
Hello and a very warm welcome fellow Hive citizens,
In many parts of the world, we are nearing a very special time of the year, namely Christmas.
Therefore, we want to dedicate the third edition of our community contest to this holiday.
As we are an inclusive community, we want to invite people of all denominations to sent in entries of their favorite holidays as well.
Topic Of The Week
- Does your city hold an annual festival you can report about?
- Does your town have a Christmas market or other festive decorations?
- What do you plan for Christmas with family and friends?
- Do you have a Christmas tree already and is it decorated?
- Are people in your city plan to do something special around the holiday or in the run-up?
- This time, we feel, photos could be a great part of your entries, because we want to see as many trees/decorations/holiday lights smiling people etc. as possible 😊
Please note, that we've changed the contest duration. It will last 2 weeks (every contest from now on) and will end on December 23rd.

And for all of you, who wondered, what the idiom 'Tis the Season in the first paragraph means, a short explanation from Merriam-Webster about the origin.
'Tis the season, in which 'tis is an old contraction for "it is," is a phrase heard during the winter drawing attention to what's known as the "Holiday Season." Its association with the winter holidays, rather than any other season, comes from its use in the popular carol "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly" in the line "'Tis the season to be jolly." Though the song is a centuries-old Welsh tune, the phrase didn't start appearing in newspapers and magazines until the 1970s
