You have the rest of the weekend to spread light through kudos. The last day of The Festival of Being Excellent To Each Other (FOBETEO) will be December 10th - that's this Sunday.
It's the time of the year to reflect on the people in your life that you care about, and let them know what they mean to you. RP is impossible without at least one partner, and those partners give us so much of their time, energy, attention, care, creativity and more. We're bringing our gratitude to the fore and letting it bubble over into words of affirmation, to let those special people know that they are seen and appreciated!Let them know you care
Part of the tradition of reflecting on how thankful we are to the RP partners of the past year is giving the gift of public recognition!
Write your RP partners a kudos to tell them how much you appreciate their time, their brilliance, the effort that they put into creating story hooks and plot twists and special moments. Tell your friends how much you've seen them improve and that their hard work has not gone unnoticed. Tell those who were there when you were going through a hard time what a difference it made. It doesn't have to take a long time, but it's sure to mean a lot!

Giving kudos anonymously will count, but may cause your accolades to arrive on a random time delay.
