LOL, my family actually started embracing the "Chinese food" tradition for Christmas several years ago, so usually we exchange presents and then go out. And yes, it's possible I have some Mai-Tais along the way.

We are doing very well! We're very close to 400 posts, I think only about 68-69 more to go.

Cristofle

Just updating the official post count so that we're starting with 273,725 in January 2018! I'll update the OP in a bit.

Gemma_H

We did really well last month. Let's hope we can keep it up.

Cristofle

We did! This was our final count.

Mischa Barton (620 | 20.00)

That's higher than it's been in months. Let's not get complacent, though! Use this to compel ourselves to get even better.

Also, I updated the OP, but I'll post it here too: 274,190 is the magic number we need to get past for January!

Gemma_H

Wow! That's amazing!! And there we were worried that we may have struggled with it being Christmas.

Cristofle

We have before dropped a lot at Christmas, which isn't unusual, but was frustrating. I'm glad it didn't happen this year, lol.

Cristofle

Just updating everyone: we have about 110 posts left this month to make our average, which is a bit below last month but still, we're doing well- let's keep it up!

Okay

Gemma_H

Good to see that things have picked up compared to how they were a few months ago. And 110 in about 14 days shouldn't be a problem.

Cristofle

It's definitely picked up. Several months back, I was beyond stressed at the end of the month, lol. Now we pretty easily cruise to the finish line.

Cristofle

Okay, for the start of February, we are at 274,288. There are 28 days in February, meaning we have less posts to do, but less days to get there, lol. We need to get past 274,708 by the end of the month to stay safe.

Gemma_H

Yeah, it's still the same number of posts per day average, so it's just the same amount of work!

Cristofle

Yep, lol. February is even a little stressful sometimes, because if you get behind, it's less time to catch up.

Cristofle

So this is our official March beginning count and goal count:

March post count starts at 274,827. We need to get past 275,292 to meet our post minimums.

Which means, we will hit 275K this month!! Hence the title change

Cristofle

Just a heads up- we DID hit 275K, so YAY! However, we are a bit behind so far this month- we're at 275,078, meaning we haven't quite done 200 posts at the halfway point, instead of 230+ where we should be. It's not super far behind, let's just make sure to post a lot in the second half!
