#LGChristmasChallenge2020

Hello Local Guides!

Christmas is around the corner :christmas_tree: :santa:
This is one of my favorite season of the year with the festive Christmas decorations everywhere along with the warm Christmas songs and instrumentals. I hope you will also love Christmas season. I have listened to Christmas songs since several months before December. Even I wrote this challenge post while listening to Christmas songs. You could also listen to them while reading this post to get better experience :wink:

We might know that 2020 is a tough year that is full of uncertainty. Our celebration of Christmas might be different from the previous years. However, through this #LGChristmasChallenge2020 that stands for Local Guides Christmas Challenge 2020, I would like to invite you, Local Guides all over the globe to share your Christmas story and bring the joy from the Christmas spirit. Whether you celebrate it or not, I wish this challenge could cheer your day :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @Velvel

Although we celebrate Nowruz as the start of the year based on the Persian calendar, other ceremonies are also nice to us. Even some groups of people and some areas celebrate Christmas in Iran. So I also will participate in this challenge and will share some amazing info with the community :slightly_smiling_face:

@Velvel Here’s a thought! If anyone wants their article to be highlighted in the #StateChallenge, we’re featuring Christmas/Holiday stories on January 9th. All anyone has to do to feature their article is to put #StateChallenge in their article :slightly_smiling_face: Work on two challenges at the SAME time!

Hi @Denise_Barlock

Thanks for the good initiative. Since this challenge is for Christmas story, you could add the information on your upcoming virtual meet-ups to include the hashtag #LGChristmasChallenge2020 when they post a story about Christmas.

What do you think?

Thank you @Globe_trotter_Ish

That’s so exciting! I look forward to reading your post :smile:
