Tamales: Christmas Tradition
Family and holiday traditions are in full swing this week, and @racerrano and his wife are making some homemade tamales. This is their first time doing this tradition, so they enlisted help from his aunt. See his step-by-step picture tutorial on how these delicious treats are made.
Did you know they are wrapped in banana leaves? Neither did I!
There are many ways to make tamales, in Costa Rica it is a tradition for the Christmas season to gather as a family and prepare the tamales. These are then distributed to family members and shared at coffee time

The Changing Earth
Stop over and see how @lebron2016 and her mother recycle plastic bottles and help to preserve their garden. From keeping their waste to a minimum and by transplanting different garden plants can help the earth in many ways.
On your instinct, what are the evidence of the changing world? To prevent the fast-changing world, we should not depend on the world's safety to the other people, but let the change begins with us.

Christmas In The Philippines
Let's talk a walk down memory lane with @jovema and how her family spent Christmas last year with all her family.
We traveled home from Abu Dhabi in the first week of December, spent some few days with my in-laws and went home to the province. We have only 1 month of vacation so we need to adjust the days so we can both spend it evenly with my in-laws and at our home
So much gift giving and smiles from her family are shared in some great pictures in this post! Everyone stop by and tell her and her family Merry Christmas!

Xmas support from our upvote bot!
With the price of SBD going crazy we decided to give you a little boost from our support bot @qustodian. Until the 1st of January 2018 our bot will be giving out 3 (instead of 2.5) times the upvote to the amount of SBD you send him!
The bot is Qurator exclusive and will upvote all Qurites with an upvote of 3.0 times the worth of what you send it, up to $0.95!
Delegators will see a payouts of 90% of all SBD earned by the bot.
We now have our own forum on chainBB.com
The Qurator Community Forum can be viewed using the following link: https://chainbb.com/f/qurator-community
New Tiers Update
Streemian Trail Account is here!
You may have noticed that your upvotes from @qurator packed a little bigger punch! @scrooger and @ethandsmith are now trailing the @qurator account and will be sending you some extra upvotes from our side as well. It's not much but every upvote counts!
You can also follow the trail and send upvotes to fellow Qurator members when @qurator upvotes them. To set up a Streemian account only takes a few minutes and is a great way to earn some extra curation.
We suggest NOT following the trail at 100% since we do not want to drain too much of your precious voting power. Play around with your percentage and if you see your voting power being drained too much you can simply lower your % in Streemian. If you have a lot of voting power to spare you can consider a larger %.
If you need any help or have questions come visit our #support channel on Discord.
