Details:   


  • From DoublyGraced:  "Show us your Christmas decorations, holiday food, lights, trees, candlelight service, nativity scenes, Church activities, etc.  . Here is an opportunity to come up with some fascinating and creative pictures! Think about your photo and the lighting and get a really nice shot of "All Things Christmas"   


  • Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes.  If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo.  If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it.    


  • Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.    


  • If you possibly can, please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it.  But if you don't know, please post the picture anyway.  We want to see your photos.  :)  Please only enter photos taken by you.    


  • The challenge is open now and will be locked to uploads on Saturday, December 26, 2015 and then we'll vote on them.    


  • Please put a title in your post for your photos.  We need the title for the poll.   


  • Please post only one entry per post/message. 


  • Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge.  So start posting.  Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
    Remember, this is a fun project!
       


Thanks to DoublyGraced for suggesting this topic.  She was the winner of our last Challenge entitled "Bridges".  Thanks DoublyGraced!

I'll be leaving to go to Myrtle Beach South Carolina on December 26 and won't return until January First. I'm having Laser Treatments for my Trigeminal Nuralgia.
I may not get to vote but am looking forward to seeing all the wonderful entries.

One of Santa's Elves


(https://www.christianphotographers.com/community/d/12294-2/NAW_3028-1.jpg)

When my son was a young child someone asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.  His reply:  "One of Santa's Elves."   ;D  I found this ornament a short time later.  He will get it when he moves away.

Thanks for starting the entries, Fotobirder.   :thumbsup:

I really like your snow scape capture.  So many interesting things to take note of:  The bridge, the red door, the wreath, the water wheel....

The Morning After

I spotted this Santa in Seymour, MO
He was having a big breakfast and graciously allowed me to take this photo.
He came over to our table after his breakfast and told us to keep Christmas in our hearts.
