I'm new here - what is Topic Tuesday?

Topic Tuesday runs from 7pm - 9pm AEST monthly. Each month we focus on a different topic, with the session facilitated by a Community Manager or Moderator. Sometimes Topic Tuesday will feature a special guest, who is an expert in the topic.

The first post of the thread (this one) will give you an idea of what the topic is and what will be covered.

How do I get involved?

Topic Tuesday takes place right here! It's text based, so no software is needed. During the session, to keep up with the latest posts hit the 'refresh' button on your browser for the latest posts (it doesn't automatically update). Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.

Throughout the session, the facilitator will put questions out for you to answer, usually asking for your own experience on the topic. To contribute to the session, just hit the 'reply' button and share your thoughts. No answers are right or wrong and everyone is welcome to get involved.

If you have any questions about how to use the Forums, check out our Guides.

I like that idea @Robert_Lifeline The last 2 years I have had christmas at my place - some through necessity so I didn't have to travel with being unwell and some so I had more 'control' over my surroundings. Both years have ended quite well - it is amazing how much better I have done being in what I consider a safe place for me at home.

@Former-Member What would yo like to do? Sorry for answering a Q with a Q - but really, you are the best person to answer that in terms of what matters to you, how you would want xmas to be (what were the qualities you wanted back then as a child? & how can you create activities etc around getting those?)...
