If you’re celebrating, Merry Christmas! If you’re not, welcome to the end of a year which, well, that’s enough about that. I made a promise to myself early in 2020 that I’d do my best to focus on the positives and share a little more love than usual this year. Things didn’t turn out exactly the way I expected but I got close – I think.

For those of you who don’t know, I have a relatively recent annual tradition of collating the best of EMULSIVE top-ten-as-chosen-by-you-listicles. Regular readers will know I’m not a huge fan of them but as the year draws near, I feel the need to recharge and although these take a fair amount of time to put together in their own right, they’re a damned sight quicker than editing and scheduling “normal” content.

If you want to find out more about them or submit your own, check out the bottom of this article or the very first 5FW here on EMULSIVE. Oh, as this series was created in collaboration with 35mmc’s Hamish Gill, also be sure to check out even more on 35mmc.

As annoying as these listicles may be, try to think about them the way I do: every single article here is the result of hours, days, weeks or – in the case of the other listicles you’ll see here over the coming days – months of effort on behalf of the person who contributed it. That effort and the result are worth celebrating in my opinion.

Enjoy!
