Thank you for the participation in the Photo challenge! You have made me feel like I redeemed myself after the last one

All are wonderful representations of the Christmas Spirit and I hope everyone had a joyful holiday.
Now to check and review the list -HoHoHo
M38A1 - Somebody looks like they are enjoying favorite time of year. I have no doubt the model in this photo gets no shortage of stocking treats!
SweetPotatoFries - If you're not already a photographer for Hallmark, I think you missed your calling - To the untrained eye I would almost say it's a painting.
Very Nice, and I'm a little envious you're in Rogers Arkansas.
AllByteNoBark - If this was a contest for the best forum handle you would have the crown. Ginger bread houses been a long tradition at our house with many
fun memories. The picture is wonderful, but I have to comment on the ginger bread construction as it look so well put together. It's harder than it
looks and ours usually have some structure issues that would never pass code. Well done.
Baja_Bound - Didn't see this one until this morning while trying to get motivated to get back to regular routine. Did a quick look and on to my day.
I will admit, my initial reaction was - well that's kinda odd, whiskey for Christmas Spirit? 1hr, 2hrs, third hour it hits me.......
It is an actual Christmas "Spirit"! Clever, and I like creatively clever.
Not to mention the photo really looks great - I think this is done with Aperture settings and there is a term for this technic that I can not recall.
- I pass the Santa Suit to you Baja_Bound -
Other Honorable Mentions - From the (Assignment post)
WoodButcher - I think you're in a leauge of your own! I put double exposure into the google as I had no idea what that was. With just a vague understanding I bet that
techinic is utilized alot more in profesional photography than we relize. Concering your picture, that's exactly the way I see with just a couple
"Christmas Spirits" in my system. Very talented
tshelfer - I really like this contrast. Looks like a neon sign. I struggle with getting pics this clear at nighttime and long exposure. Be curious how you did it.
Been to Denver zoo a couple times, such a cool place.
Merry Christmas to All!
