The @blacklux 14 Day Holiday Party -- 'Opening Day' Post:

What 'Tis This Party Thing?
Well, as I always say, if you want to get right to the poultry and potatoes of something, go straight to the chicken in the tater patch. So, to quote from @haphazard-hstead a couple of weeks ago:
"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."
And what better way to help out a friend and fellow Steemitian, than to throw a party. A BIG party, with all sorts of activities that anyone out there can participate in to help out.
And has there ever been a whole monkey-barrel-full-of-fun activities going on in these last couple of weeks. All intended to add to the holiday party, and also toss a bit of cash into the mix as well.
And now...it's almost OVER. But no reason to full-tilt bum your mellow! There's still time to jump on in and show a flurry of activity at the end. Think of it like sprinting to the finish line at the very end of an 1800 meter steeple-chase. One last, big push of energy, before the classic photo finish. Smile!
Here is a re-cap of the activities that have been going on this past 1.743 weeks:
Christmas Memories
Holiday Sing-Along
Make A Holiday Card
Mellow Music
Christmas Snacks
[Hors D'oeuvres and Snacks Post]
Jokes and Riddles and Such
[Joke Post]
My joke for the party:
"Why did Santa Clause cross the road on Christmas eve night? "
- "He didn't, he was up in the air."
Party Drinks
Cookies!!!
Deep Holiday Reflections
Party Potluck
Poetry Slam
I've included some poetry I just wrote for this part of the party here.
Mainly because I can:
This Santa Claus,
he came to town,
riding on his pony.
As taped-on antlers,
in the "Reindeer Store, "
made the Great-Dane dogs look phony.

Thanks for stopping in, to get a balcony-side view of a really great two week party, with an incredible-y great idea at the epicenter of the party core. Nothing like a rollicking bunch of fun, to help out a fellow person of Steem.
Thanks so much to @haphazard-hstead for thinking of @blacklux, and putting on this Holiday Hootenanny in response. Here's to hoping for a better year than this last one, and lookkng forward to more joy and fun and Steemit activities in 2018.
There's One At Every Party
Poste Script:
Parties seem to attract a lot of people. And there are two basic types visiting these things:
(1): The Dishes-Do'er. The person or persons that stay on long after the party is over, and help clean the place up.
(2) The Lampshade -- The person(s) who hang around longer than a bad winter cold.
Over the years, I'm been known to occasionally 'over-stay' my welcome at parties and get-together's. Particularly if there is Holiday Punch in the mix. And this year will probably be no different.
I'm not sure if @haphazard-hstead has thought of this or not...but there are 7 more days BEYOND the end-day of this party, which ends on January 1st, to still imbibe. And help make a difference.
AND, in keeping within my historical perspective, I'll probably be found somewhere tangled in the living-room curtains, stuffed behind the divan, more than likely with said lampshade over my head, and a huge, goofy smile on my face. At least until the 8th of or so of January. Or until someone invites me to leave and please go home.
So, let's all get jiggy with it, folks, and party some more till early-to-early-mid January. Big Time, "like it's twenty-aught-eighteen."
Be there or be ■

A Huge Shout Out, with a reporter's official megaphone goes to @ocrdu for designing and creating this wonderful credential (above) for The Schteinn Report. Not only is it gorgeous and well developed, but I now have access and entry into places I'm probably not supposed to be. ( I really appreciate @ocrdu creating this card for me, as I've been waiting for MONTHS for my 'Official Reporters Card' from The Newcastle Online Reporting School Of Pretty Good Journalism -Apollo Beach, FL. They have not been returning my calls, it seems they have moved to a new address.)
Thanks for stopping in and viewing the @blacklux party put on by @haphazard-hstead. If you have any thoughts about Christmas parties, contests, reading poetry to good music while eating Christmas cookies in deep, historical-holiday thought, or anything else this post reminds you of, please feel free to comment away in the spaces below. I'd love to hear from you.
Please UPVOTE, COMMENT and FOLLOW if you enjoy my works.
And go to @ddschteinn -- There's a whole lot more...

Excerpts From Late-Night Conversations With A Mechanical Cat
Thanks for everything! Im lucky to have friends like all of you! Thanks for all y'all did for me!
You are more than welcome. I just hope it can help out a bit getting over some of the mess. I also hope you have a wondrous New Year, and Steemit stays an important part of it. How could it NOT? Full Steem Ahead, and more of your wit and humorous take on life to go along with it. Have a nice night.
Yes indeed I have made it to most of the days, although I am always several days late, I plan to get to them all. Its is so easy to get behind in all I am trying to get done here.
I'm pretty sure getting behind is a bar you have to cross, to even be on here. And you are so very busy doing so many things. It is quite impressive. All I do is Steemit, and it's STILL hard to keep my creative nose above the cyber-water. I suppose it's all part of the fun though ( :
You've been a great supporter of the BLACKLUX Party, @old-guy-photos! It's a party that goes on and on, lol. There's still food on the potluck dinner buffet table, whenever you get back around! ; )
Ah, I love the Schteinn Report!! There are always so many hard hitting tid bits of incredible journalism within its digital pages! The Santa joke alone! I've already stored that giggler in my brain bank for next year! Thanks dd!
Very fine form on your part for sharing such a noble party/quest, I'm heading that way now to do some upvoting!
Also, Happy New Year my friend!😊
So glad you enjoy the News Most Fowl. I'm hoping you are having a most wondrous New Year's eve, and doing something fun. I did a bird count today, and a basketball game, so it's been busy. Just kickin' it now, with a bit of a small aperitif and some Steemit. What better way to bring in a new year.
Glad you enjoyed my home-spun joke. Make sure to go over and check out my Slam Poetry too. It's an award winner, no doubt ( :
As they say, don't give up the day job just yet.
Well, hope this finds you happy and warm on the last day of 2017. Years sure do skip by like a 2" flat stones on a calm Montana lake. But what fun! Yours in the new year, H.S.
Thanks so much for spreading the word about my "Holiday Hootenany", as you put it. That's a great description of the BLACKLUX Party, for sure! And don't worry about over-staying your welcome at the party. Anyone who is still there on January 9 will be put to work. We don't have ashtrays to empty, but people may have hidden an hors d'oevres or two in the potted plants! And there's always wine stains to get out of the carpet. ; )
I always enjoy your parties, and this one is for a great reason. I will stay and clean up, if I'm still on my feet in another 7 days. These parties do tend to take it out of you, all the dancing and eating and drinking and creating and finally sleeping behind the couch, waiting for the next day to start. Luckily I brought my toothbrush.
Haha -- I think you have a lot of experience with long parties, lol. I like long parties in the winter time, especially if the weather is rough. And with lots of friends and family. When the party finally ends, I'll make sure you aren't still passed out behind the couch or over by the big philodendron!
I hate when that happens...
haha ; )
Yep, the BLACKLUX party goes until the New Year's Day post pays out -- January 8! Thanks for pointing that out! And thanks for your fine reporting to get the word out about the party. I think people have been having fun! :D
