Hi everyone I hope you are all well and are recovering nicely from the torrential festive feasting! Yes it is time and I am going to announce the winners to my Christmas photo challenge! I have to be honest with you, I have found it excruciatingly difficult to order these. Fantastic attempts by all!
Firstly in 3rd place...
J_mcrane!!
Thank you very much for sending me a picture of this very topical elf. Yes that movie is indeed a holiday classic. I am a big fan of it myself!
Next up for second place... Andy the Aussie!!
Andy, fantastic outdoors shot especially with that deer horn. Since Christmas is generally celebrated indoors it was a very pleasant surprise!
And the winner of the Christmas photo challenge is... duramax!!
Congratulations!!
Its a very well coordinated tree with the SOB playfully hiding away in the bristles.
Now as many of those who have visited my previous photo challenge posts may know I usually do a surprise present for the runners up...
Yes, that is you Andy
I've made this for you. Its the same basic construction as the sheath I am giving away but in the form of a key case. First you attach your keys to the inner loop:
Then you retract the keys using the strap:
and snap it shut:
and now your keys will no longer bore holes in your pocket!
To get the keys out just gently squeeze the sides and let gravity do the job
I hope you like it
Andy the Aussie, duramax please send me the address of your choice for the items to be sent to (in international shipping format please, so everything from street number to country). My email is sfa2560@gmail.com .
I just want to take a moment to thank those who have helped me. Especially Jaxx for helping me run this and Jerry for letting me. Without their help I would not have been able to do this photo challenge. Thank you all for taking part and I wish you all a happy new year!

Our Elf on a shelf: Kevin named for the character in Home Alone. Every morning my 3 year old yells out: "where's Kevin?" Gets me every time.[emoji3]
