Welcome To The Winter Holidays Bio Contest And More!
Do you have a winter holidays background? Copy the html, and post it in here!
If you're a free member just do a post linking us to your bio.
We are doing a contest this time instead of the column due to the lack of enteries in the previous columns.
UPDATE - THIS CONTEST WILL BE JUDGED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
For Winning the 3rd Holiday Quiz!
The Answer :
Lunar
The Chinese New Year, traditionally based on the lunar calendar, is celebrated in many American cities with the roar of blazing firecrackers, dancing dragons made from papier mâché and cloth, and traditional music.
Please remember only the winter holidays theme. Admin you're encouraged to also enter.
If you have gold then you can always gift the membership to someone else or keep it.
Now if you don't want to enter your background then you have these choices :
Write a poem inspired by your favorite holiday song.
Update-DO NOT COPY AND PASTE A SONG As A Post. That is against AP Rules and you will be ticketed. ONLY link us the song in your author notes. We don't want the song in your post. Just a poem INSPIRED by the song and a poem YOU wrote!
You must put what song inspired you in your author notes.
Write a poem inspired by your favorite holiday memory.
Write a holiday form poem.
Write a holiday poem from your pets view.
Write a dedication poem for someone here on AP as a holiday gift for them. In your author notes please state who the poem is dedicated to.
Rules :
The length doesn't matter but please don't bore us.
Please pick what option you used in your author notes.
YES- You CAN mix and match options up. Like if you want to enter your BIO and do a poem you can.
You can enter up to three times.
Prewrites aren't allowed.
Please keep everything G rated.
All site rules apply.
Prizes -
The gold winner will get a gold membership for one month & at least 1,500 points. It may or may not increase.
The silver winner will get a silver membership for one month & at least 1,000 points. It may or may not increase.
The bronze will get 500 points and a shiny trophy plus win a silver membership for one month!
Now the points may or may not increase so I won't give out how many points will be given at this time. It depends on how many enteries we get.
However, Each HM will get 130 points! I'll send you the extra 100 through the system because you only get 30 with the trophy.
Thanks to Kevin for the donations!
Due to the holiday season and how busy it is we won't be commenting on them this time until after the contest is over. Lissa will be mia for awhile and I will be busy off and on as well. Please bare with us.
JustSimplyLissa will be my cojudge on this.
Happy Holidays Everyone and we look forward to your enteries!
Any questions feel free to ask. It's always best to IM instead of asking here.

The one that won silver it was a wonderful poem with a great background with it. Just beautiful. The one that won bronze I loved it. It was so funny and very right on from the pets point of view. The hm's are in no perticular order. Remember Hm's you will be getting 130 points for yours. Lissa and I had a hard time judging this contest.

I know what the spider means
But I won't tell 
Leaving it for someone else to answer

The spider web
Means good luck! -

You got it! It means prosperity,good luck, and good fortune
There once lived a woman so poor, says a Ukrainian folk tale, that she could not afford Christmas decorations for her family. One Christmas morning, she awoke to find that spiders had trimmed her children's tree with their webs. When the morning sun shone on them, the webs turned to silver and gold. An artificial spider and web are often included in the decorations on Ukrainian Christmas trees

the Christmas spider has had its web turned to gold or sliver by Father Christmas or the Christ Child a German folk to this day jeweled spiders are hung on trees to commemorate the miracle -

Freed By Mercy just guessed it. Be on the lookout tho. In the next few hours I'll put up Christmas Quiz Question Two

Perhaps you should run this through New Years? It just seems so little entries to go for such a large prize. Surely more would have time to enter since the holiday bussle is mostly over at this point. Just a thought

New Years is the 1st of January in The Gregorian Calendar.
