AskSteemit: What are you doing during the holidays?

in asksteemit •  7 years ago 


Happy Holidays everyone!

Hope you're having a good and relaxing time, wherever in the world you might be right now. :)

I myself am mostly going to chill. On my way to my parents soon to eat some fancy dinner and then probably going to be gaming the rest of the night and entertaining myself. Although the markets are in full swings I decided to take a break from trading for now and watch all of this unfold, I do believe that the correction might be over by next week already and we should see some new heights by then again.

Now with @ocd also taking a christmas break I am probably going to try and spend some more time off Steem for a change and relax, been a few times this year where I've felt close to being burned out from too much activity on the platform and outside of it but related to Steem.

Been thinking about trying to post about something different during this time and see what my followers think of it. There is also one big project that I still have ongoing which I need to find the time to finish planning soon, might need to look for help with it when the time comes. It's great that there are more and more people joining the platform now which will surely increase the pace of development and adoption really soon.

I am looking forward to 2018 a lot and can't wait what it will mean for Steem and blockchain in general, I believe it is going to be a very exciting year!

What are you doing for the holidays, Steemians?

I'm working. I volunteer in a non-profit organization that works against food waste. and because we don't have Christmas in here, I'm going to work.
But i'm going to chill a lot as well. there's nothing more fun than sitting with a cup of coffee when there's a massive rain.

Hope you'll enjoy your holiday Acidyo!

That's awesome!

Thanks, hope you have some time off as well!

Thank you! I was always wondering how is it like doing Christmas. Can you explain your feelings about it In a few words? I'll appreciate it.
Btw, don't post anything while you're on vacation, Just enjoy your time with the people you love

@yaird That's so sweet and generous of you! Hope life rewards you accordingly!

the best thing to do during holidays is to relax so i am doing just that

I actually met my wife on the 23rd of December five years ago so we are also celebrating our anniversary. As there is not a lot of Xmas atmosphere here we celebrated it by going to Shanghai and to stay there over the weekend. Like a romantic get away. Sometimes you don't have to go all that far to feel like you changed the environment and refreshed the point of view.

I can definitely understand that you have felt close to being burn out. It's important to take that seriously and sometimes just let it go . But that is easier said than done haha

Anyways ! I wish you an awesome Xmas with much joy and I thank you for all your support and for all the good work you are doing for the platform!

wow happy aniversary to both of you, have a good one even as you enjoy christmas

funny, me and my girlfriend's anniversary is December 22nd!!

@acidyo I can totally understand this, a break from steemit every once in a while is a good thing. Spend time with the family and have a good holiday break! You've earned it!

As always thanks for the content you create and can't wait to see your new projects!

Cheers

Dante

I am currently snowed in from one snow storm that brought us about a foot of snow (30cm), and now they are forecasting another 30cm tomorrow! I loaded up on tasty foods so I am just going to relax and the enjoy some time off from work. I will most likely be posting on Steemit as well ;-)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you @Acidyo. Thank you again for everything this year! #OCD

Oh wow, wish we had some snow here too, unfortunately doesn't look like it'll be a white christmas this year around.

Merry Xmas, mate!

I will stay relaxed and live my life as usual, this year's holiday is nothing special we will do, the economic downturn in the middle of this year makes all our year-end plans messed up, hope a little open when I am currently joining STEEMIT, but stay waiting for 2018, hope next year is a lucky year for STEEMIAN all over the World, and I will keep waiting for new surprises from you @acidyo

Happy holiday with your family @acidyo
we will also vacation with family, while waiting for new year 2018, hopefully steemit progress and develop.
thank you @acidyo already much petrified us from indonesia.

@acidyo Happy holidays man! Enjoy your family dinner tonight! I will spend my time with my parents as well! These days are about sharing precious moments with family and loved ones from my point of view!

Wish you and your loved ones health! Your health is your wealth!

Merry Christmas everyone!
@lordneroo

Thank you, likewise! Merry Xmas! :)

enjoy your christmas family is important and spending time with them is a great way to enjoy the holidays

@acidyo, Merry Xmas to you sir...... I'm glad to inform you that I was very lucky man in this year because I was steemian .When I recognize you, Then I have met genius man in this platform.
We'll waiting next 2018 will be awesome and attractive looks in steemit. Cryptos high growing and then more trading and investment.
I'd like to enjoy with my family in this season.

Stay blessed. See you in next year with huge assistance!!!

happy holidays @acidyo! Hanging with @karensuestudios for the holidays :) She comes in tonight! Ive been waiting haha. We will prob relax, acro, steem, pole, maybe watch some movies and watch some taylor swift concert:) ENJOY yourself!!

Playing Starwars Battlefront II with my boy most of the day while wife is doing some cooking. Then we go over to my parents for Chinese food and presents and watch The Polar Express with Hot Chocolates when we go home. Then we spend all day Christmas after my son opens his presents at my wife's family's house.

Also giving my voting power a rest, to hopefully recover by the time it's all over.

Christmas here for me is all about eating and drinking. Might do a little travelling; that's a probability though! Generally the market now says relax! relax!! relax!!! Lol. Do show us what you up to. I might join in.

I am definitely gonna chill!! There will be so much chilling that people will mistake my house for a freezer :0)

Good idea on the markets. I am ignoring them till January

On my way to my parents soon to eat some fancy dinner

One of the best aspect of Christmas, that's the food although we can eat them whenever we like but on this festive day, it feels somewhat special, don't know about others but myself just cant explain the feeling.

Merry Christmas from Nigeria

Taking some time off Steemit sounds like the right thing to do for you if you have been feeling a bit burned out. Writing about other stuff than you have done is also a great idea as we often feel bored or stuck when doing the same things over and over again. I try to do some sorts of exercise, sport or whatever, which is a great way to get energized and NOT think about steemit. It doesn't really matter what people think, as long as you enjoy it. If they can feel that you're excited about it, you will draw people who feel likewise. I will spend time with my family, eating enormous amount of food, and probably go to a friends place later :)

@acidyo, This is a time to celebrate and help some desolate peoples. As me. Our country has 4 hours for happen Xmas. I'll hope after 10 hours early morning Xmas day I'll give some breakfast packets to desolate peoples here in my motherland. After I can really glad.
Anyway Merry Xmas toy you sir and all of Finland peoples.

We don't have christmas holidays here but i am celebrating christmas with 2 of my friends who are christian..
furthermore, i plan on bringing them to steemit too ;) lets hope i succeed...

These kind of discussions are more fruitful than the regular posts we all make.. lets take this opportunity to learn about different people from different countries..
good job @acidyo..

It's Christmas Eve, at our local church we are gathering a group of about 20 young people to go visit our most old church members and go sing some Christmas carols for them tonight. Best way to spend Christmas Eve. Here's a photo, this actually happened:

Merry Merry Christmas :) you have been already missed in the chat during these days! I hope you have been drinking and gaming all these days, since its legal now for you. :p looking forward to the new project unfolding! Xoxoxo

Ready to midnight from Le Chef at the Manor Philippines.

Merry Christmas for all steemians

We’re seeing Star Wars in 4dx on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas!

Generally, in my holidays I am going with friends and riding bike all day long and visit most historical place thank's @acidyo

hi, nice to hear you are enjoying your holiday with your parents and gaming I will enjoy also spending time with my parents and a lot of sleep.

What are you doing for the holidays, Steemians?

Working ;(

Merry Christmas Acid! Yumm! Homemade dinner! :)

Oh of course games... :P Enjoy!

I'm spending time with family and complaining about the just above 0 Celsius rain that kind of puts me off from running which is far from ideal since in a month's time I'm going to compete in a race. The combinations of cold rain and mud makes for an interesting Christmas :)
Happy Holidays man, enjoy your time off steemit

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Hmmm... what am I going to do... One thing for sure that I will be learning to draw! Probably won't help with my hands growing from the a...

Yeah, take your time, relax and enjoy your holidays, man! Merry Christmas!)

It is good to have a break sometimes, whatever it is the activity you are breaking from, even going slower with Steem activity can be good in order to achieve a balance. Good for you that you are doing this, and your parents will be happy to spend the holiday with you. Right now for me it's not so much activity going on, just staying with my cat which left me an hour ago, this is a photo of it from ~3 hours ago

my cat.jpg

Merry Christmas!

I told have any proper plan right now. But will be hanging out with friends and playing poker and getting drunk like hell.

Sounds nice and relaxing. That’s what the holidays are about! Merry Christmas man!

playing cricket in my holidays .
thanks @acidyo

I will go on a small house in the black forest with some friends and we will do some party.

Merry Christmas!!🎊🎉🎀🎈🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁

Hello @acidyo. A big compliments of the season to you.
For me, I've set out to make my dad and younger ones happy this yuletide. I lost my mum at the beginning of the year, and it really hasn't been so easy for my dad and younger ones, without her.
So, I'm fixing my dad's car - been at it since Thursday. Its an old car, but I'm hoping to be done with fixing it by Tuesday the 26th.
I've already gotten lots of food stuff to keep everyone's mouth and stomach busy this Christmas. I'm just happy I could raise some funds to put a smile on their faces this period.
I miss my mum, I'm sad she couldn't be around this Christmas. But as we go through it, she'd surely be in our hearts.
As for next year, I'm equally optimistic like you @acidyo. I know steem and the block chain would blossom. I'm glad I am part of it, and I hope it gets to the height that transcends all our expectations. I'm positive that next year would be brighter for steem, steemit, SBD and the block chain technology.

I will be spending time with my precious family christmas day but as of the moment working before christmas.

Merry Christmas @acidyo! 🌲🎄🎊🎉🎇🎆 May we all remember where we once came from and may we all look ahead to the coming year with eyes wide open and full of cheer. ☺ 💚

Merry Christmas @acidyo 🌲

I am just watching Snowden :-D. I am officially the most boring person ever, Lol. Gonna meditate after a while, this winter is making me too lazy to do anything. :p

@acidyo Happy holidays man! One more thing, my birthday is also on 25th, Dec. I mostly spend my time and sharing precious moments with family and loved ones.

Wish you and your loved ones health! Your health is your wealth!

Merry Christmas everyone!

thank you for the wish
yeah right everyone wait a lots of for this holiday

Happy holiday @acidyo, 30th of December is my weeding anniversary 9 years of marriage God has been faithful. I and my hubby look unto God for better celebration this year. The past 8 years has been in struggling but i thank God for his faithfulness this year. I believe 30th December will be different in my home. Thanks so much. I dont mind if you can follow and upvote my post @iloegbunamagnes

its good to take time out and relax and recharge, christmas is a great time to reconnect with family and friends, merry christmas to you and your family, i will be sharing with my family and having a barbecue for christmas

Nice post

Actually,its already a family tradition that every member of the family comes together on christmas day.
As a very religious family,we all go to church in the morning,come back later the same morning,have a huge family dinner with family,relatives,relations and friends who visit.
We then stay together for the rest of the day reminiscing about old times and enjoying each others company.Its really fun and highly anticipated by everyone of us.

I'm spending time with family as well! Happy holiday man!

Great holiday, nice topic share, very good job, I like this post
Thanks for sharing, have a great day

We go out of town and visit relatives.

Happyyy holidays !! Hope u enjoy the company of ur parents and family , i too going to fly back home to spend it with them and take a break from college stress and see old friends ^ ..

Yeah
I'm really having a good time with my friends here.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all steemians.

I will go for my relitive to enjoy holidays with my cousins

Christmas is so near. Have been waiting for this day since sooo long. I'm gonna spend Christmas with my family. There would be gathering of loved ones and it's gonna be so good . I'm gonna dance on sia's cheap thrills all night.😁😁

Your Christmas holiday schedule is okay, I and my two kids, with my wife will travel miles away to see siblings and families.

Now with @ocd also taking a christmas break I am probably going to try and spend some more time off Steem for a change and relax, been a few times this year where I've felt close to being burned out from too much activity on the platform and outside of it but related to Steem.
Please take your time as you mentioned above, remember; it also good to make time for meditation especially in this holiday period.

God bless his world.

Good job @acidyo and resteem

Holiday? What holiday? Here in Israel it's a regular old workday. Yes, we work on Sundays. So if Jesus was alive today, he'd have to work like the rest of us. :)

I'm going to spend the holidays refreshing my Steemit wallet .... and getting high 🌲🌲🌲

posted next to the fire place drinking eggnog- Writing my next steemit article

I am also looking forward for 2018, at holiday time I will stay in Germany and explore german cities or maybe I would like also to drive for the weekend to Austria. No matter what I will do I will post it soon or later :P Wish you a nice christmas meal and a chilling game !!

I am not doing too much today! Probably just relaxing and spending time with my family/extended family/Steemit family! I am going to try not to trade today, but it is addicting I must say! Merry Christmas!!

Enjoy the festivities, an excellent job this year
Merry Christmas !!

How can I lease steem power? Anyone can tell me.

Enjoy the holidays in company of your parents and your family but above all rest, this platform is fascinating but absorbing, I just arrived from spend a few days on the beach but I arrive with the flu, so today I have to rest. Merry Christmas!!!

I’m excited to be part of the Steem community. I published my first post today, but it’s probably a good idea to take a break from Steem over the next few days and to chill with the family.

I hope you have enjoyed your holiday .I am with some of my family at my parents' house .
Merry Christmas @acidyo :)

Merry Christmas to you and yours, good sir!

I am excited about Christmas for the first time in a long time. Most years, my daughter and her mom go on a vacation with family up north, which usually means that I don't get to see my daughter for Christmas.

I just got a call that vacation was pushed back for some reason, and I'm going to get to see my baby girl open presents on Christmas morning like I always wanted to. It's going to one for the memory books this year, finally. :)

I hope you get to relax and enjoy your family over the holidays! It cannot be overstated how important it is.

I am working, I work in a Customer Support type of company and we provide 24/7 service to US, Canada and Dubai clients. Though I wished that I would have a long weekend but not in my case :(

Have Family over at the new house, its a bit rushed due to just moving in on Dec 7th but always amazing to have family with you :)

I'm in North Carolina with my Guatemalan in-laws. You don't read that sentence every day. (-:

I'm going to pick my nieces up from their dads house to take them to my sisters through the god damn snow storm that is starting to hit us, then I'm going to come home and feel like death because it seems like I have the flu or something coming on. Then tomorrow I'm going to sleep in and watch Die Hard, Krampus, The Thing and a few other movies and be a bum in bed all day and eat a very small dinner with the family. What a fun holiday it's turning out to be, lol.

I hope you have a great Christmas/Holiday eating with your parents and gaming, by the way, man! Also, would you mind if I made my own AskSteemit post on here using your tag? Thought I should ask before I just ever make a post with it since I don't know if you're trying to keep it crypto currency based for the most part @acidyo

I've gone away these few days so haven't been posting as I deliberately didn't bring my PC with me. In a way it's been good as I'm not spending so much time on Steemit. I think everyone needs this break sometimes, and put your focus and attention back to other things, even if its a few days. Merry Christmas everyone if you celebrate, if not best greetings for 2018.

Apart from frantically checking crypto tracking services to see how much everything has crashed you mean? As someone newly bitten by the crypto bug it is hard to shake off the desire to keep one eye glued to the portfolio.
Jokes apart, I just got married two weeks ago so I guess the celebrations were a little earlier for me this year, allowing me to take a nice long break from work and settle into new responsibilities. As for Christmas specifically, happen to be sipping some excellent eggnog the wife made as I write this almost at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve (here in India). All things considered, not a bad time to be alive. Happy holidays everyone!

Having our noche bueba right now. Merry Christmas sir!

IMG20171224234622.jpg

I am going to see what else I can learn about the markets maybe better understand them.

I am just spending time with my family and relaxing. And since I joined steemit about 2.5 weeks ago I am also spending a huge amount of time here on steemit! It’s a nice Christmas present to have discovered this project! :D

I'm gonna relax, meet my family and probably catch up with some of my small coding projects that I've been delaying for too long and catch up with a few coursera courses.

Happy holidays @acidyo! Hope you'll have a nice and relaxing time :D

We just had a brunch with my boyfriend's father's side of the family. Lots of chocolate was devoured... It's my weakness, especially when it's right there in front of me ;-)

Tomorrow we'll have dinner at my boyfriend's mum and the day after, we'll be going to my mum with the rest of my family. Always fun to see them for a while.

During downtime, I think we'll be playing lots of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. My boyfriend ordered it for us this week, so these brand new games need to be played :D

@acidyo, Merry Xmas to you sir I am really happy I made quit some $ in high growing Cryptocurrency trading and investment platforms.
So I am having some fun.
Stay blessed. See you in next year with huge assistance!!!
&
Merry Xmas to you and your family too.
@upvoted and @resteemed

I'm mostly going to get fed up round my parents' house and maybe go for a walk on the beach tomorrow daytime... I'm sure I'll have one or two glances at Blockfolio too! Have a good Christmas mate

I am a volunteer in one of the halfway houses located in Aceh, Indonesia, a halfway house for children with cancer who are less able in the economy. the name of the shelter house is "Rumah Kita" (Our House). so much fun with them, comforting them to keep the spirit to heal. the activities that I do is accompany them go to the hospital, generally, the treatment system is a recurrent treatment such as chemotherapy and other therapies. in the halfway house that we manage has been a lot of accompanying pediatric patients. in addition to being a volunteer, I fill time off with drawing, and traveling.
Happy holiday acidyo! Cheers:D

a whole tonne of things....
attending a family friends' daughters wedding. helping take care of a family grandfather who has been bed-ridden for 4 years -also has dementia and was in the ICU again till day before because he got pneumonia. driving the relatives who are here from abroad to see him and then also entertaining them.
in short christmas eve was spent in pyjamas watching the latest episode of grand tour while eating pizza

Not sure if that qualifies as fun or a great christmas eve :-|

IMG_6171.JPG

For me, just very simple, staying with family. I think that is the true meaning of Xmas

Hope you have a great time man! I will meet again my classmate from highschool after, I guess 5 years or something.
Aside from that, not much, hope to get snow here like the last year, it's a pretty rare event but would really love to see that again!

Vesel božič acidyo. Marry christmas. :) No harm in taking a breather time to time. ;)

Already after the dinner, some spicy jack daniels, waiting for some poker action on steem lucksacks ;) Merry Christmas

I dont really have something specific i wanna do this festive period but alot happened to me this year so my own little way of thanking God would just to visit an orphanage home to celebrate the christmas with the kids

And I will work, sounds disgusting, but this is the reality of my life. And I will work hard, because, finally, I saw how I can achieve my goals. And Steem plays in this one of the main roles.
Good luck to you and good.

А я буду работать, звучит отвратительно, но это реалии моей жизни. И буду много работать, так как, я наконец то увидел как я могу достичь своих целей. И Steem играет в этом одну из основных ролей.
Удачи Вам и добра.

I'm just going to relax and be in peaceful quiet with myself. I don't have family where I live so I'll be missing that. But tomorrow I'll have Christmas dinner with some friends. Tonight (xmas eve) I think just cuddle with the cats and watch a movie and eat in bed.

I will be spending time with my son , which I never really got to do since he was born 4 months ago because now of college , I will be going to see the Christmas tree today in a Manhattan with him and my family . Happy holidays Acidyo

Sleep and post a video as a gift to everyone including to you. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!~

I run a business that takes patrons home from the bars in their car, that way they don't have to leave it behind (and come back for it the next morning) so this Christmas I am serving my community just as I do every night of the year. Too much eggnog? Dont be the guy to risk a DUI, take the passengers side and get home in your ride. Wife wrapping the presents and drinking wine. Kiddos will be happy in the morning.

Merry Christmas!

This is party timeee

Happy holidays! Having a break is always great. I will spend my time with my family and friends. Will be enjoying a lot.

Almost every year, it's spring cleaning.

We have no holidays this week, but then we can relax from 30 December to 9 January! The whole 10 days without work!

So, I will purchase a bunch of different HARIBO marmalade, and I will eat it watching my favorite TV shows with my beloved wife, drinking champagne. This is a brilliant plan from 2 to 4 January... I have not yet planned what to do next :)

Working around the house and playing some games. Not getting together with family till new years and my wife works today on Christmas :/
