So Christmas is my favorite holiday/time of the year (in case you didn’t already know). I’m affectionately known in my family as a Griswold because I tend to get a little carried away with the Christmas lights….maybe a little more than Clark….if you could believe anyone gets more carried away than Clark.
But of course, today is November 21st and we’re still more than a month away from Christmas. Heck, Thanksgiving is still two days away. So when is it too early to turn on your Christmas Lights?
The finalists have been announced, the votes have been tallied and we officially have our Addicts Show Us Your Lights Holiday Contest Winners!
First, we want to take a minute to thank everyone who entered and everyone who voted! You guys truly are amazing and this contest, site & community wouldn’t be nearly as fun with out you & your participation. So THANK YOU!!!
Voting is Now Closed. The Winners will be announced tomorrow 12/24. Thank you everyone for voting!
Well we’ve poured over every single entry you guys submitted to our TSTO Addicts Show Us Your Lights Contest and the ONLY thing we could all easily agree on is you guys have some AMAZING talent! Seriously, it was so hard for us to narrow it down to just 10! But after much debating, back and forth and having to lock Bunny and Wookiee into their respective floors of the house…we’ve FINALLY picked our Top 10!
You’ll be able to vote for your favorite below the fold….remember Voting Ends 12/23/14 at 11:59pm.
And now for the top 10 finalists……
Drum roll please……………(come on you know you all want to make the noise for me!)
You can replace fortune with FRUSTRATION, FORMULAS or according to others, some other “F” words if you like.
How’s every one doing? Been strolling around the wide world of TSTO and recently I’ve noticed quite a few folks intensely focused on the Holiday Wheel that came with this year’s holiday update. What at first seemed like such a cool concept has ended up being a hotly debated item. There are folks who have become disillusioned, feel cheated, don’t care, want that last item that is taunting them. Whatever the case, it is definitely one of those items you either love or hate it seems.
