Are You Pulling Off the Perfect Holiday? Share What is Making This Year Special

By Patch Staff

We had a special caramel cake this year that made everyone at the Thanksgiving table swoon with happiness. Did you do something new this year? Hear of an event that pleased the family or decide to help a neighbor rather than shop Black Friday? 

We invite you to share your insights on Patch. Community contributions—whether it’s sharing photos with Santa, family rituals or reflections of thanks—are a hugely important part of Patch. This is especially true during the holiday season.

Let your creativity work overtime and use Patch as your one-stop-shop to share, connect and grab tips and traditions from your neighbors and friends.

You can start a blog, or post to our boards about anything you like. Really, the possibilities are endless.

You could share:  

• Photos of Santa and the kiddos

Because we value community voices, our platform allows users to interact and post directly to the site. These posts then appear on the homepage, in the daily newsletter and are shared by editors via Facebook and Twitter.

The best thing about sharing your stuff on Patch is it's your space so it's your rules. Write as frequently, or infrequently as you'd like. Short or long, essay style or a quick how-to. Blogging on Patch is a great way to share your opinions with the community and get your voice out there.

Want to share your thoughts? Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Start a Blog" under "Post Something" on your Patch homepage. Or click the green "Post" button under Boards at the top of the page. If you need help getting started, email community editor Susan Jenkins at susan@patch.com.
