The Busy Bees
It is Christmas week coming up, by next weekend everyone who celebrates Christmas would have done so already so let me say Merry Christmas to all the Busy Bees!
As usual, these last few days before the big Christmas day are super busy with the preparation for food and shopping and all the rest of it.
I wish everyone the best festive holidays and if you do not celebrate Christmas for any reason, I wish you a wonderful week, one more week of 2025 to go!

The Basic Rules of Activity
Activity means posting and commenting within a 30-day time.
Posting weekly is recommended.
Supporting one another with votes and engagement is encouraged. There is zero enforcement, we just recommend it. If you want people on Hive who will speak and interact with you - just look at the people in this list!
There are a few accounts (like the top Minnows) that have gone inactive that I do NOT take down due to inactivity. This is mainly to give the active Minnows and Redfish something to aim at. It would also be really cool to see you guys catch up to these larger accounts due to your activity vs the inactivity of these accounts.
NOTE that these rules are going to change to suit the 100 ACTIVE accounts vision. Once we have 100 Active members those inactive placeholders will fall away. Then we will really become a powerhouse.

Nomination of Gifts
My Nomination of sharing 50% of this post's payout goes to @parkrunmayor for being the lowest HP account that posted something this week. (and is not on a negative HP growth or joined this week, or holding posting rewards unclaimed for weeks that would put you ahead of others who also could grow.)
In support of our Redfish doing well, For @alonicus' SBI gifts I nominate: @hellsveiah and @sommylove! Well done! Great growth and performance!
Let's go! Good luck for the new week!

Thanks for the update @zakludick, and Merry Christmas everyone !
Well-deserved SBI's sent to @hellsveiah and @sommylove π
Also, on an unrelated topic.... I believe @shanibeer is dropping out of running #SaturdaySavers after many years of running it. A well-earned retirement ! It's possible someone else will take it and run with it, I don't know. But (hopefully without treading on any toes), perhaps starting next year we could encourage Busy Bees members to do a brief monthly or even weekly update ?
If we ask people to post it in the Busy Bees community it could help get it more active. My SaturdaySavers updates are a great way for me to set a goal at the start of the year and then help monitor progress and keep me on track with it. Plus of course it's an extra post, and a way to make more use of the Busy Bees Community π We could perhaps even ask bigger members to sponsor some small prizes, just to help add an incentive (yeah, I know, I'm being cheeky now...)
Congrats to everyone!
Seasons Greetings!
