The Fresh Five for December 26th - New Steemians to get to know!

We're back with a brand new Fresh 5 for December 26th. I hope everyone had an excellent Christmas. I managed to catch my wife's cold, so that really kind of was a downer, I slept most of Christmas away. Oh well, onward and forward right? So we are back with 5 new Steemians for you to meet!

If you missed the initial post and want to learn about the process I am using to select the daily five, please check out The First Post in the Series. In that post you will find the first five Steemians I chose, as well as the methods used to find them.

I hope you will help me welcome these Steemians to the Platform! If you would like to support this work, please click on some of the links below and visit new Steemians to make them welcome!!

Let's Get to Today's 5

Drones, Fam and Life in General. First up today we're going to meet Kele, pronounced Kelly. He's a pretty cool dude sharing with us his adventures working as a drone pilot. Yeah, he actually gets paid for that. He's also sharing some of his adventures in BMX, Snowboarding and wakeboarding. So, yeah, he's a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Head on over and say a welcoming hello to Kele!

Christmas Sketch. Not too long ago I introduced you to a 16 year old Steemian, well now we have an 11 year old. My goodness, either I am getting older, or Steemians are getting younger! Hive account@cyrilon joins brother, sister and mum on Steemit and is a budding artist ready to bring some talent to Steem. Go give this kiddo a big welcome!

A Person Named Varun Kini. Varun has a passion for music, and composes a few songs with his guitar. I'm looking forward to what he might bring to openmic during his Steemit adventure. Say hello to Varun over at his blog!

Hello Talented and intelligent friends. Meet Kiara, who is, among other things, an "obscure model". I'm not entirely sure what it takes to be obscure and model, but maybe we will learn. She is also a content creator on other social platforms, bringing her talents to Steem. And she is also a painter of portraits. I look forward to seeing some of her paintings! Head on over and show her a warm welcome.

Starting Steemit on Christmas Day. I guess we have a bit of a K thing going, so let's finish with another K. Meet Hive account@kryptokylie, she's in California and working on her self confidence. Fortunately she has found a guy who is helping her with that. I think we all know a little bit about feeling unwanted, so her story struck a cord with me. Head over to her post and let her know how welcome she is here on Steem!

That's our list for December 26th. I hope you enjoyed getting to know a few new Steemians today. Make sure you give them all a warm welcome, and maybe even follow one or two of them!

Both of the above listed groups are great, and have loads of very helpful people. But because they are newer organizations, it can sometimes be quiet in those chat rooms. If you want a little more help RIGHT NOW, then what you need is The Minnow Support Project. MSP/PAL is made up of over 7000 Steemians whose main goal is to help each other climb the ladder from minnow to whale. 24 hours a day there are people there to chat with you. So if you want to jump right in to the waters, head to the MSP Discord at: https://discord.gg/FdvSPNT

Do you ever wonder why I use #welcomingcomittee as one of my tags? The brainchild of Hive account@inquiringtimes is the Welcoming Committee and a set of contests that are sponsored by some great witnesses: Hive account@reggaemuffin, Hive account@aggroed, Hive account@ausbitbank & Hive account@swelker101. These fine folks have put 700 STEEM and a Steem Power Delegation up for Steemians who make it their mission to help new Steemians by creating tools for new Steemians to use as almost a guidebook to Steem. The Fourth Contest Was just announced, and if you are able to create images, this one is for you. Top Two Contestants will each receive 20 Steem each, with 6 additional 10 Steem prizes. So please go over and show your support for this great project!

Thanks for reading!!
