Season's Greetings

In the traditional folk lore, Santa Claus rides a sleigh, run by a team of eight efficient reindeer. They help him deliver gifts to the children on time, on the Christmas Eve. Remember it?
Inspired by the folk lore, a Israeli friend of mine, recently, gave a cool season look to his motorcycle. He painted it red and put a metallic reindeer on the front fender of it

Come along for a visit and the travels of Santa and his reindeer... on a motorbike? YES! @himalayannomad shares some fabulous images of this adventure for this holiday season.

Identity, Mental Health And The Steem Networking Doppler Effect

For many years I defined myself as a writer... a failed writer. I completed a degree in imaginative writing, after which I spent the best part of five years working a series of bar jobs. Getting fckd up every weekend, and basically trying to relive my student years

@raj808 shares some of the difficulties of being a freelance writer online. All the ups-and-downs and how it can take a toll on you and your mental wellness. Are you a writer too? Share some of your stories in this post.

Getting Ready For 2019

10 days to 2019
...and I've just (barely) concluded my meet ups with relevant individuals for projects I'm planning on for next year. Earlier today, I caught up with the Sabah State Assemblyman for Moyog (Penampang, Borneo). We both shared our views on relevant community matters and I'm hoping that the programme I'm planning with my good friend, Jinggol Lianus, will come to fruition. The Honourable Jenifer Lasimbang has good vibes coming out of her. She wasn't just listening but she was truly hearing us. God bless her, we need more politicians like her

@ael7 has been meeting up with fellow musicians and sharing his plans for 2019. This coming year looks pretty busy with projects for him. Come on over and see what's he's planning in this upcoming New Year.

Homemade Cake

I made this cake for my girlfriend's birthday last month.
We love chocolate, of course the cake had to be made of chocolate
In fact I don't like typical birthday cakes, they are very artificial and cloying.
I prefer homemade cakes, healthier and much more delicious

Who doesn't like getting homemade birthday cake? Or even better... a chocolate cake? @mafaldation

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.

Write a post about Qurator.

Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.

Invite a friend.

Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
1	You refer a friend to Qurator	You sponsor a membership to your friend
2	Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: referred by @your_steemit_username	You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: @your_friends_username
3	Our team reviews the account	Our team reviews the account
4	Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote	Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote

Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.

Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail

	The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
