Community Advent Calendar Day 11 - The Festive Find game

The Festive Find

Some of you may remember a couple of months back we hosted a Reptile Finder game on the community. We offered you all a special one-off community badge for completing a challenge in which you had to find a reptile hidden in various discussions across the community.

Well, we thought that Christmas was the perfect time to host a festive themed edition of this game, so that's exactly what we're going to do, are you ready?

The game

The team has hidden the below image of a Christmas present in 5 different discussions across the community aside from this one.
Your challenge is simple, browse the community and find the discussions in which the present picture is hiding, comment on that discussion and once you have found all 5, return here and let us know you've completed the game.
The image of the present will be the most recent post on the discussion at the time of writing, just to help you out a bit. And we will only be using 'announced' discussions, these are the ones at the top of the page on any category or the recent discussions section, and they have a "announcement" mark on them.
There is a special Christmas themed community badge up for grabs and it will be awarded to anyone who completes the challenge.


Good luck!

I found them all, quite quickly this time, the reptile one was quite tricky in comparison! I put it down to luck though

PS without cheating and using the "recent discussions" button!

I have spoken to my dr  and tried a few  things I sleep better than I did I am used to getting up to go to work  and I worked 12 hours a day  6 days a week I think my sleep is as good as its going to get at the moment 

My debt stemmed from not bring ablexto work since I firstly lost my job because I needed a cataract operation which I had four weeks ago  then  just then twi days after losing my jon found out I had corona virus  the local council put the bailiffs onto me  becsuse of council tax  arrears which mounted up whilst I had corona virus  and my other bills got behind but things are leveling out  now I didnt have the money to buy presents this year but my family understood thst  and I have had community help with food  my local councilor brought presents  for me to open on Xmas day and  some  Xmas treats to eat and is also bringing me a Xmas dinner on Xmas day 

I am getting there but I am lucky  I have support  I am ok I live in a fantastic village  o have a lovely land lorrd  it might be hard but hopefuly soon I will get a job  I have learnt to live on less money now and I have learnt not to tske things fir granted  you never know what's round the corner

Much harder completing a day late, but found all the Christmas presents @Ross_Scope

Cher_Alumni

Well done @chiarieds !! That wasn't an easy feat at all.  You totally deserve your new 'Present finder' badge

Thank you @Cher_Scope - I had so many problems yesterday......a blank monitor, my computer freezing when I was on the online community, which it doesn't normally do (& the same today with freezing), that I totally missed this post.

Ross_Alumni

Thanks for completing @chiarieds, is the computer behaving now?

chiarieds

Hi @Ross_Scope - just saw your message. Yes, my computer is behaving itself. My son gave it a good talking to on Boxing Day as he took it to bits (almost!) & put it back together again. He built it, so it was in safe hands. He thinks one of the fans is a bit poorly, & is dying to build me a better computer, but it seems to be going OK for now.

Super @chiarieds, maybe it just fancied a break over Christmas  

Glad your son is being so helpful.
