And that's the Spec The Halls contest for this year!

 

Honestly, I think it went pretty well.  There were some rough spots, and some things I could have organized better - but $253 is a decent chunk of change.  Thanks again for everyone who participated!

Winners for Spec The Halls!

 

Winners for Spec The Halls!

And I got a tie.

 

So I sent stories off to judges, and I ended up with a three-way tie.

::facepalm:: 

That’s what I get for trying to be fancy.  So I’m going to send them off to some more judges and we’ll have results by 1 Feb. 

The stories that are currently in the running for prize money are (in no particular order):

“Old Man Winter” by Charles Long

“Saint Nick Sticks” by Peter White

“Gift of the Magi” by Shedrick Pittman-Hassett

Last round of judging ...

 

The Twelve Days of Winter are over, and I’ve gotten back all my first-round votes.  Tonight I’ll tabulate the front runner(s), and send them to the final-round judges!

[Edit:  Christmas, yeah, yeah.  It got warm here.  What can I say?]
