That'd be very difficult to match, but I think we're certainly well on track to beat the 2012 Holiday Gift Weekend when 2,923 gifts were given away. The only other gift event I was able to find the statistics for was the 2015 Christmas in July when 4,748 gifts were given away.

So let's go for 5,000 gifts!

The Worst Gift Exchange Ever which is like Secret Santa, only you try to give bad gifts. Deadline for sign-up is Dec 12.

The YWS Best & Most Awards is also up, and here you can vote for who you think did the best and most in different fun YWS Categories! A few new fun categories have been added this year, so be sure to check it out before Dec 31.

Also Can I just encourage people as a personal requests to join in the #ChristmasCover hashtag again this year? It was started by AvantCoffee a couple years ago and the idea is you do a little singing or instrumental cover of any holiday / winter / Christmas song that you like and post it on the people tab with the hashtag to spread some holiday cheer with music. It's so fun to hear what people come up with every year! :] (also you can always use vocaroo.com if you are looking for an anonymous way to record / send sound recordings).

It's the most wonderful time of the year ~

Since December is pretty much upon us, it's time for some of my favourite annual YWS holiday traditions: New Year's Resolutions and the YWS Yearbook!

New Year's Resolutions: 2022 Edition is a thread for you to share any resolutions you may have for this coming year, and reflect on any resolutions you may have had for the past year. It's a fun way to get in gear for next year, and a great way to hold yourself accountable, too!

And the YWS Yearbook 2021 is a thread for you to put all of your favourite memories from this year into one place. Whether that be adding links to your favourite literary works from the site this year, sharing shout-outs to your friends here on YWS, or documenting the contests you were in, is totally up to you!
