    September is now the busiest month of the year! (so far)

    Not surprised, super busy in here these days :)

    How are we compared to Sept 2019?

    Sorry if this was asked/obvious, hard to keep track at the minute so much going on in here!

    Just thinking, with the clear increase of activity since loughc last updated us we must be smashing the posts total for september, especially with Tuesday & Wednesday still to come. Haven't seen so many active threads in a long time, a real sign that we're on the homeward stretch.

    One of my friends last night shared something Christmassy on social media an he's not a big Christmas head, so naturally I messaged him going it's not like you to be sharing Christmas posts.

    He said he wanted to share something positive to break up all the COVID doom and gloom and he said he was really looking forward to Christmas this year as he usually self isolates at Christmas so he can't see COVID disrupting his plans and it gives him time to switch off from everything going on.

    This won't come as much of a shock but we've completely blown last Sept out of the water.

    We ended this September 850 posts ahead of last Sept and 1,419 ahead year to date.

    The last week in September had over 700 posts which was more than pretty much any other month (bar January) that goes to show the ramp up towards the end of Sept

    There is great energy in here this over the past few weeks, I love hearing all the different memories being discussed. It's exactly what we need now.

    I was busy at work today, and didn't get to look at the forum until bed time, when it took me about half an hour to catch up. Love it. :D

    I forgot to say we ended Sept off in style as the last day in September is now the busiest day of the year to date.

    It's the busiest eclipsing the next day by 45 posts.

    5 days in and we have already surpassed April and May's individual total number of posts for their months. :o

    We have also passed 2016 & 2017's total number of posts for the year!

    I say if we can re-open everything next year there will be a serious dip, but I'm ok with that. People need to get away relax, go to gigs, holidays, etc.

    So I'm making hay while the sun shines this year.

    In years to come, we can look back on 2020, not as the year of the Covid but the year of busiest Christmas Forum ever :D

    Next year might be even busier for those abroad that won't get home for Christmas will be longing for a Christmas at home

    Who knows maybe in the New Year we will be all discussing what we have taken from this Christmas that we will certainly bring forward to other Christmas's

    Maybe a slower pace Christmas at home will suit people and they will be longing for it

    Very true Sarah, will be interesting to see in Jan, when the dust has settled on Christmas 2020, what was different, what people enjoyed, what they missed etc.

    My own suspicion is that with Christmas 2020, much like the rest of the year, being quieter in terms of social gatherings & events that when this whole covid thing lifts (hopefully in 2021) that there'll be a collective OTT response purely through relief & a desire to mix & interract with the greater world again. Not saying everybody will, some may have come around to enjoying & preferring the quieter way of life, but I suspect many will go overboard & party like its 1999!! So christmas 2021 may be a cracker for many... we'll just have to wait & see!

    I've said it before I genuinely think people will start new traditions this Christmas that might continue for years to come.
