It's just us, that crazy group of Steemians who hang out on our own blockchain and post stuff about whatever. Yes, the prices have been dropping and some people have gone away, but we're still here. If you stare into the light intently enough, it's almost like all the rest of it doesn't matter.

That's alright though. It just means there are fewer people around, so we have a closer circle. It means we get to know each other a little better. Since we don't have Steem prices of $100 to write about, I can tell you that I'm planning to do a little Christmas shopping today. I might not care about gifts too much, but there are a few people who would be hurt and wouldn't understand if there wasn't anything under the tree for them. It's not going to be an "all-out" year, but with some strategic purchases, we can make it special.

What gift are you most excited about giving this year?

Just spent the day with my daughter and was happy to get her a few things. My gift is that time, worth more than anything to me.

Merry Christmas, happy shopping!

That's great! I'm glad you were able to get time together with her. That time is priceless. :)

awww that's awesome Asher! I'm so glad to hear it!! Merry Christmas <3

So far it's the gift for the 'Secret Santa' of the German speaking Steem community. Combining such an old fashioned custom with Steem is both strange and awesome :)

Ha ha, that sounds like fun!

I am giving back to the steem monsters community this year, but also a new lens for ourselves.

Oooh, new lens!

You airdropping SM cards into people's faces? I just got assaulted by a fluffy bunny! (No, they don't have a fluffy bunny card, but that would be sweet!)

Pretty much a steem christmas - - monster cards gold for the USD price slightly higher only in steem. example $11.00=11 Steem. Most whales need not apply of course. but anyone on teampossible is welcome, and anyone less that 6000SP

Nice! Let me know when it starts and I might take you up on that. I'm still slightly below 6,000SP. I'm getting close though. ;)

The Gold sale is in process now. weekend only until 5pm Alaska time Monday.

I'm still here and now that I finally have a break from the detestable psychology course, I can get back to posting again. Did I say I hate psychology? :)

Wait, so you're wishing for more psychology?

Alas! The gif is broken... (Pronounced "giff" btw, with a hard "g") I wonder what Freud would say about this? :)

Dang it! We'll all have to watch the show again so we can see the episode.

I had some fairly techie friends, so I remember when GIFs came out. It wasn't a widely-used format, with most people preferring to use JPEG or even (gasp) PNG! It has only been in the last 5ish years that GIFs have really started to get mainstream. Now you'll see them in facebook feeds, etc.

It wasn't until they started getting popular that I first heard someone pronounce it with a hard G. I didn't know what they were talking about because for years everyone had said it like "JIF" not "GIF." They laughed at me and asked how I couldn't know. I said I had known what they were for years, but everyone used the soft G. That's when I learned there was a debate growing on it.

You're free to your own opinion of course, but for me the matter was settled when I read an article similar to this one https://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/23/battle-over-gif-pronunciation-erupts/. The creator said, "It’s Pronounced ‘JIF’ not ‘GIF.’”

I get how people can argue over how a regular word is pronounced, but this is something the guy invented. The guy created GIFs, so he gets to decide how it's named.

If someone can be named Shithead, but their mom says it's pronounced Shi-theed," then ok. If someone wants to be called "Ileane" but spells it "Alien" who am I to tell her otherwise? You create it, you get to decide. At least that's how I see it. ;)

That being said, I know and like people from many walks of life, so no worries. :D

I was being funny with you about gif :) yes I did read his take on how it's pronounced back when the creator shared it, but everyone I knew when the net got popular used the hard "g" sound. I was as surprised as you were to hear people saying it another way, and floored when he announced the soft "g" as official.

I hope he gets a penny everytime one is used. :)

Hope you have a good day dude. I enjoyed your convo with the robot yesterday too! :)

This is becoming a real intimate little party here, isn't it? :) Having Patrick here was our Christmas, so I think I'll cook a nice dinner and invite our landlord and the other tenant over for Christmas dinner. I've still got Brian with me, so that's all the presents I need :)

Howdy sir Blondie! oh I didn't know that the price got down to 21 cents, is that the lowest it's been lately? I don't even pay attention. haha! That's a great photo!
