* * Festive Holiday Area Contest - Results Announcement * *

Thanks to everyone who voted and entered. The rules prevented voting for your own entry, but I wouldn't have been tempted: there were so many designs I would rather have in my town.

Thanks to Elian and Rooneytoon for the awesome badges.

Special thanks to His Dudeness. Not only for hosting but also for not entering the winter scene in his own town. If he had, none of us stood a chance! From the announcement poem on, it has been impossible for me to imagine the contest being run better.
