Local guides, it’s that time of year again! And this is especially exciting for Melbournians (in Australia) because after our 262 days lockdown, we are able to celebrate together with other people in groups again. Sooo thrilling.

I’ve had a #ChristmasInMyCity challenge for a number of occasions now and so here we are again. This is a world wide challenge!

Whether it’s the food, the vibe, the decorations, the culture, practices unique to your family, region or country, I’m inviting all local guides around the world to participate in your unique way this Christmas. And if you happen to be organising a Meetup around that theme, all the merrier, please consider tagging this post. I’ll also create a list of posts below for ease of access.

Let’s make this year’s Christmas memorable and special.

And do share the joy this Christmas and tag a friend to invite them to participate in this worldwide ‘event’.

Feel free to tag #ChristmasInMyCity in your posts to link up with this world wide celebration. Or if you just want to share some photos below, I’d be so happy too.

Let the celebrations begin!

Here’s the link to the one from 2019

Thank you to our contributors who hail from around the globe. (I’m extremely sorry I’m not being able to tag everyone personally as there is a max of 10 names only.)

@LuigiZ yes I missed it last year, I didn’t have quite the same zing last year to do much and we couldn’t do much anyway. But this year, it’s possible to meet up and get out and about and I’ve got my enthusiasm back. Look forward to seeing photos from around the globe. Hope to see some from your corner of the globe too. I’m sure it’s very colourful and vibrant where you live

Hi guys @ChanneLing @TsekoV @SanyaOdare @Denise_Barlock tagging you too to invite you to invite you to join in our world wide Christmas fun again this year. #ChristmasInMyCity 2021 Hope you can join in the fun again this year. I didn’t do 2020 as it wasn’t much fun in Melbourne then and I lost my zing. But now I’m back and hoping that we’ll have lots of people helping to make it extra special this year.
