'October Theme: Season's Greetings' Photo Contest Entries

For some it may seem far too soon to be thinking about Christmas (unless, like me, it is never too soon to be thinking about the festive season!). However there is a rational behind my thinking! As you know the winning theme contest pic now features on the main page of our community, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages. So by the time the pic has been voted for and a winner announced it would seem most odd to see a Christmas photo in February! Much better to see it for the month of December!!

So, dear members, do you see where I'm coming from? Good, that's settled then; the theme for October is... Season's Greetings! A theme intended to celebrate all that is good about the season to be jolly, and all in dolly form to boot!

The winning photo voted by members will now win a whopping $50 PRIZE!! Plus the winning pic will spend a month featured on our front page and be the public header for our Twitter & Facebook Fan Page too!

The 'rules' of the theme photo competition are very simple:

  1. Your photo must contain a doll or dolls
  2. The photo must be taken recently, specifically for the challenge
  3. Make sure the photo relates to the spirit of the relevant month's theme
  4. Members should enter one photo only per theme (although you are free to add more but please highlight which particular photo you would like to go forward into the competition).
  5. Give your photo a title, whether it be witty or cutting edge cool!
  6. Post your picture in the Theme Photo thread in the discussion forum below
  7. Make sure to have as much fun as possible!

I should correct that where I live in Texas, that's it San Antonio, there is no snow, except in very rare unusual climate conditions.

Nilsa, you and I have someting in common. You grew up in the Philippines and now are in Texas, and I grew up in Vermont and now am in Thailand. We both get to enjoy different seasons, holidays and traditions in our adult life that are quite different from our youth.

Valerie  and Nilsa I lived in Canada +- 20 years and now I live in Spain and sure thing the climate as well as the culture are different, but both of them so enriching.

I will always encourage friends and family to travel and live some place else to learn and appreciate other cultures. this make us so much more open

My goodness!  Such an international group we have here.  I think it would be fun to have each of you tell us what Christmas/Winter Solstice etc, tradition you have found to be the most different in the various places you've each lived.

Valerie, yes, I agree is great to know different climates, cultures and regions.

I'm from Panama, no The Philippines -lol

Lilly, how long have you been in Spain??

I love the "pesebres" (Nativity sets/towns set up for Christmas).
