In almost the blink of an eye, 2016 is coming to a close. And yet as fast as it went, this year absolutely brims with memories. Now that we're full-swing into the season of warm, fuzzy feelings and excruciatingly long lines at the store, the time is ripe to reflect back on all that's passed. And in classic Internet fashion, what better way to reflect than with a quick quiz?
2. When was the last time you took a vacation, even if it was just a cozy weekend alone with a good book?
3. How did you spend your last day off?
4. When I say the word "traffic," what's the first thing that comes to mind?
How'd you do? If you answered "B" or "C" to any of the questions above, we think you might need to hear a little holiday story...
Many thanks to our awesome video specialist, Michael Bird, our talented star, Rachel Moore, Sadie the Goldendoodle, and a smattering of fantastic Mozzer extras for this poignant vignette!
No matter your method of relaxation — be it eagerly awaiting Season 2 of Westworld, settling Catan with a few good friends, baking cookies with your niblings, or a twelfth reread of Harry Potter — we think you've earned yourself a breather. You work hard at what you do. You stuck with us through thick and thin this year, smiling and commenting and thumbs-up-ing all the way. We couldn't be here without you, and so we insist: Soak in all the goodness this season has to offer and take a moment to treat yourself and those you love. You deserve it!
I answered B or C to each of those questions. That's it, I desperately need a vacation. Thanks for reminding me that the whole concept of vacation actually exists.
Thanks, Moz, for all the exciting, intriguing, and always valuable content. I've learned a lot with you this year.
Have a great 2017!
Thanks Moz! I've only been with you for a month now but I appreciate what you've done with Moz Local this year.
Happy Holidays!
@Caleb. Happy Holidays! Glad you're enjoying Moz Local, and let us know if you need any help.
I'm still yet to hop on board the Moz Local train!
1. You guys have the worst taste when it comes to picking a music for a party :D
2. If I could bring my dog to work I would never be sad
3. Happy holidays and thanks for all the content. I started my internet-marketing journey about a year ago, and I've been a Moz reader since like day 2. I've learned a lot from reading blog posts here and watching WBF videos. Cheers and have a great 2017. :D
Heheh, we would have been blasting some Daft Punk if not for those pesky royalties ;) Thanks for always reading and commenting, Igor, it's awesome to have you here -- here's to a great 2017 for you, too!
I want to bring my cats to work while i sleep this holidays XD
We don't have any office cats, unfortunately, but there is an office poison dart frog (Roger Frogbot) -- and there've been a couple fish and some seamonkeys, too!
Happy holidays all! Time to kick ass when we're back though.
❤️ to you all.
So much <3 to you, Jen!!
Happy new year Jennita!
Happy holidays to the Staff and all the community...
And for things like this you should allow emojis to work!!!!!!
❤️
Jen, you've got the emoji game on lock!
Well, you Mozzer are great dancers - as far as I can see :))) I’m wishing you a happy and fabulous New Year Felicia!
p.s. of course I'm eagerly awaiting s02 of Westworld! So excited!
I've got all these sheep and no bricks. C'mon guys!
Felicia, thanks for the fun post on our last day in office. Cheers!
And when you finally get enough brick (and wheat and wood), you roll a 7. ;)
Have a lovely break!
Hello Felicia, good questionnaire to let us know that we need an urgent vacation. I did not answer the "A" option in any question, I need an urgent vacation :( I hope you have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays and that we forget a bit of work ... Have a good year 2017 !!
Thanks you very much Felicia for great video and questions. Cheers to the New Year! Wishing you a Happy Holiday season from the team at SE Ranking.

Happy Holidays everyone ❤️

Dear Moz Team,
I would say, it's only Moz that keeps we all marketers updated with the industry trends, news, changes etc. And that's what helps us in the work, so ultimately Moz is the backing us to do more, get more and grow more.
Thanks Moz team for helping us to keep going and build a better career. I wish you all have a great holiday and Marry Christmas !!
Keep rocking guys, Have a blast new year 2017..!!
Awesome post and to an Awesome 2017!
Happy Holidays everyone! Expecting relevant articles here in MOZ this coming 2017 :)
Hi there, thanks for WBF videos and all content that you share with us! Cheers!
Thanks for the questionnaire and the video - I spent too long looking for the submit button! My main concern is what happened to the office dog? I didn't see it going to the party.
¡Felices vacaciones! Por lo que me permite estudiar algo en MOZ ;)
Aw shucks, thanks Mozzers! We love all that you do! Happy Holidays! :)
Great content all year and keep up the good work with the Pro tools! I have to tell you that Keyword Explorer saved my Moz subscription, so I expect a lot of good stuff from Moz in 2017. ;-)
Happy holidays everybody and a special thanks to the Moz team for all the great work they do year after year. Deserving market leaders!
Hi again Felicia,
I forgot to ask you right away. Hope you still see this comment. Why hasn't the YouMoz blog been updated since October? Do you guys plan to shut it off? Or is it just that readers haven't been contributing?
Thanks,
Stacey.
Hey Stacey, that's a great question! We sadly retired the YouMoz submission process a few months ago, for various reasons (Dr. Pete explains a bit more here). It was a hard decision, but ultimately we were rejecting far, far more submissions than we could accept, and with a very small team curating submissions, we couldn't offer personalized feedback or even edit posts in a timely manner. We're working out a new way to bring back submissions in the future, though, one that'll be far less disappointing and slow for contributors. :) When we do it'll be a big announcement, so keeping an eye on the blog and any of our social channels should keep you in the loop!
I understand. Thanks a lot for the answer, Felicia. Hopefully, YouMoz returns in 2017, as I was planning to make a humble contribution of my own :)
Hahah, great and lovely post! :) I have come back after a few days of vacation and I just want to wish you a happy year.
I do need vacation :P Happy Holydays guys ;)
Happy holidays and thanks for great work in 2016 :)
Merry Christmas to all the Moz team, I joined recently and Moz.com is alread proving useful for SEO. Thank you very much
Wishing all at Moz too a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I think we all should take a break and forget that "traffic" means Website Traffic ..... at least for some days
Thank you very much Felicia for the Blog, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a good holiday for all and .... I think that I need to hear a little holiday story today
happy to all for new year
Happy Holidays to all the Mozzers. I so appreciate the wonderful community you've built.
