Help @blacklux continue to recover from Hurricanes Irma and Maria - with a fun party! Every party needs appetizers and snacks -- bring some to my BLACKLUX party and maybe win a prize! And I'll match any SBD you transfer to @blacklux, 1-for-1, up to 50 SBD for the whole 14-day party.

Join the Party!

Here's how to take part in the fun! Here's the Party Music! You can still add music to that post, too! Here are the Holiday Cookies - and you can bring some to share, too, in that post!

But every party needs more substantial to eat, too! In the comments below, put a link to any post you have made that would be good appetizers or hors d'oeuvres. Or drop in a photo of your snacks. I'll choose a random winner of 1 SBD from everyone who posts some in the comments below.

Here's something for you to eat, while the BLACKLUX Party continues. Even heartier fare -- for full holiday meal -- is on the schedule, too, so don't eat too much yet!

I think you'll like these pears, prepared in different ways -- with fennel, sumac, borage flowers, mallow glaze, and more! You can find the details in My Magnificent Pear Platter that I made for the Steemit Iron Chef contest.

I'm looking forward to enjoying your holiday appetizers! I hope you stop by @blacklux's blog, too, with some holiday cheer! And you can invite other people to the party, too!

How the BLACKLUX Party Works

Some of you have enjoyed my Icicle Party or Spring Celebration Party or my Baby Dolphin Party. I know I enjoyed hosting them and seeing all the happy creativity everyone brought to those parties. So I'm having a BLACKLUX party that lasts the entire holiday season! So don't drink too much spiked eggnog quite yet -- that's for Friday!

I'm going to post a BLACKLUX Party Holiday Card every day, from now through January 1. Every bit of the SBD that these posts make, I'll transfer to @blacklux once the posts pay out.

And there's more. In any of my BLACKLUX Party posts, if you show me a screenshot of any amount that you transfer to @blacklux, I'll match that -- up to 50 SBD total for the whole party. If you've been tracking the value of SBD, you know that is real money, for a real person, who has real needs.

Thanks, @ecoinstant, for being the first party-goer to share your holiday spirit with that generous SBD transfer, @ecoinstant! If anyone needs help to make a screenshot, let me know in the comments below!

Why We're Having a BLACKLUX Party

It's the season for holiday parties. Steemit needs a party! And hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Our friend, @blacklux, is living through the mess -- still! I've wanted to help out, but wasn't sure how. I wasn't sure if she would even be able to stay connected with Steemit -- or be able access her Steemit funds to help recover. She's put out real effort to connect here on Steemit when she can get online. It took awhile for her to just get access to electricity and clean water. I really enjoy her sense of humor, here on Steemit and back on Tsu, too. And she has kept that sense of humor intact, too, all through the hurricane mess!
