I had a christmas article planned but my schedule in writing it has been cut short due to job hunting for the season.

Nonetheless, I hope your hunt goes well for you, and you can settle in to a nice occupation that satisfies.

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to finish my article this year.  My grandma died on Christmas Day a couple years ago, so I've been spending time with my grandpa and unable to write.  This prevented me from entering last year's contest as well.

Good luck to all the contestants, though!  Have a Happy Holiday!

I have a Christmas present for one luck winner:

From Lee & Linz: Thanks to everyone who entered the RetroDaze Christmas Article
Contest! The entries were a joy to read-- some heartwarming, some funny,
many reminiscent of our own holidays. It was a tough choice, but 1986:
The Year That Santa Became Real definitely stood out. Congratulations to the
winner and everyone else who entered!

Great work Mickey. Way to go my friend.
They were right to say this was difficult. I am very glad it wasn't me doing the choosing.

Oh wow.  I feel like the credit should go to the man who inspired the article though.  All I did was tell the tale.

But thanks to Lee & Linz for judging, and for them choosing my entry.

And lots of thanks to everyone else who writes and submits articles here, because everything I read stirs up some old memory from my own life, and seeing how active everyone else is keeps me motivated to continue being active and contributing.

And many, many thanks to Vaporman for sponsoring such cool contests, and for providing us a place to gather and share memories.  I had thought so before, but my opinion was reinforced a hundred fold when I finally met him, and can say that Vapor is just one of the nicest and coolest people I have the pleasure of being associated with.  As much hard work as we can see going into the site, I'm sure there is even more work he does that we don't see that keeps this place going.  His dedication to this community and sanctuary is unparalleled.  For that, I don't think I could say 'thank you' enough.

But thanks guys and gals for reading, for the ratings, and for all the great comments on the article.  I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together and sharing what a great Santa, err, I mean Dad I have.
