Where’s the Holiday Spirit, Medium? This Platform Needs a Santa!
As the holiday season ramps up with cold weather, Christmas trees popping up everywhere, and festive music bombarding us at every turn, I can’t help but notice something is missing — where’s the holiday cheer on Medium?
Unlike the winter wonderlands in department stores and on radio stations, Medium remains a rather ho-ho-hum place this time of year.
Sure, some writers may toss around the occasional “Happy Holidays” or post about family traditions, but where’s the full-on holiday spirit? The sparkling lights, bells jingling, and bustling excitement of the season?
*insert sound effect of a sad trombone here*
What we need is a Medium Santa!
Can you imagine?
A jolly old man who slides down the homepage chimney each December to give gifts to nice Medium writers and lump sums of coal to the naughty ones. And we know there are plennnnty of those on here, right 18+ writers? *wink wink* Santa’s got a special sexy stocking for you!
For the nice writers who provide thoughtful content and engage meaningfully with others, Medium Santa could leave comments, follows, or even holiday-themed Boosts. I have to admit, finding a merry “Ho Ho Ho! Here’s a Boost for the holidays!” on one of my stories would certainly get me into the festive spirit.
Maybe we’d all be more filled with holiday cheer and good tidings if we knew Santa was making his list and checking it twice. I can picture writers trying extra hard as Christmas draws near to get on Santa’s “nice” list. The curmudgeons might even crack a smile! And when Christmas morning rolls around, we’d all excitedly log into Medium hoping to see what Santa left under our virtual trees.
The platform would be buzzing with holiday spirit — twinkling gifs, cheerful carols, festive story topics. It would be a virtual winter wonderland!
Doesn’t that sound wonderful?!
In the spirit of Christmas, I’m leaving out some cyber cookies and milk in case Santa pays a visit to Medium this year.
