    When does it REALLY end?

    Does the contest end in 12 days, as stated above in the standard contest information, on December 14, as stated on the AP front page, or on Christmas Day as you've stated in your description of the contest? celtic queen

      The contest

      Ends on Christmas Day, unfortunately we cannot choose a month long date. I will reset the close date when it nears the end every two weeks. I do hope you try out the form Christmas Bash as well.

    This sounds like a fun contest to enter. I will see what I can come up with for this one and the form contest. On the other hand how do we donate points for this contest and the form contest???? I have a few to spare. Would it be wrong to enter if I donate points???

      Hello Carmen Boyer

      If you want to donate points for the contest you can send them directly to me, by going to the Help FAQ section, under general questions there is a link that says "Want to give someone points" click that and it will take you to the donation form. Just type in Little Feather and the point amount and click submit.

    It says "write about Christmas...a Christmas story, your favorite Christmas" Are you accepting short stories (up to 40 lines) for this contest?


    • Little Eagle Greeters member
      December 9, 2008
      Edit | Reply

      Yes

      Most certainly I will. I have no points on Storywrite so I can't do a short story contest on there, but if this is a short story, I will allow up to 50 lines for that.

    Wow!

    Thanks for the silver, and being so generous with the points. May the Lord bless you more than you have me.

    Don't be sorry about the late judging. I know how it is with contests. I had forgotten about this, so it was a really, really nice surprise. Almost seems like a second Christmas!

    Christ bless you!
