It is time for the 3rd annual Christmas Writing contest. We have lots of new and creative members this year, so I expect to see lots of submissions.

Here are the rules:
1. Contest begins today.
2. Open to members in good standing with a minimum of 25 posts as of today. If you don't know if you're in good standing or not, enter anyway, someone will let you know if you don't qualify.
3. You can submit as many entries as you want. Entries are to be posted in this thread.
4. Entry can be in the form of a poem, song, haiku, limerick, or just a short story, and can be serious or humorous.
5. Deadlines are CST, I don't want to have to add and subtract
6. Entry must be themed around cigarsmokers.com and Christmas.
7. Winners will be chosen by Poll of the membership, all members in good standing are allowed to vote.
8. As the host, I won't be playing.

Deadline to post your entry = Midnight CST, Friday, December 25, 2009
Poll starts on Monday, December 28, 2009 and runs through Monday, January 4, 2009

The prize will be a selection of sticks from my cooler. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
