We are going to try something different for the holiday season this year. Call it our “everybody wins” contest, or our “no voting” competition, but I really think in the true spirit of the season that we need a venue to express a way to show how we want to say “Happy Holidays” or “Seasons Greetings” to our friends without being judged or compared against others.
Here’s the deal, this will be a winter or holiday theme photo thread and will remain open until Dec. 31st. You may post anything that is either train-related or not train-related for the occasion. You can post a picture of your holiday layout, someone else’s holiday layout, a picture of a train in a holiday or winter setting or any picture or sketch of anything with a train in it with a holiday or winter theme. Or if you prefer, you may post something that is holiday related but isn’t necessarily train related, like a Thanksgiving or a Christmas card that you put together or took a photo of.
There are no “rules”, but here are a few guidelines:

There are no “rules”, but here are a few guidelines:
- This being a train forum, it would be great if you posted something that had a train theme, but it is not a requirement, just post something. You may post any holiday-themed picture or graphic, be it train-related or just a holiday or seasons greeting, or if you want, something that is winter-related and not tied to any holiday.
- If it is holiday-related, it can be any holiday that falls between now and the first of the year, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years Day or any other that I may have overlooked.
- Any photos should be ones taken by you, any graphics like a card, should be compiled by yourself using photos, clipart and text. If you don’t feel creative, a simple text greeting or even a poem would work, whatever you feel fits the spirit of the occasion.
- It can be religious if you so choose, it can be Santa, a turkey dinner (umm), a train in a snowstorm or just anything that works for you.
- It is assumed that any pictures, text or clipart used is either owned by you, is in public domain or does not otherwise violate anyone’s copyright protection.
- You may post more than one picture or “card”. You may want to post a picture of your holiday layout, a picture of a train setup in Macy’s holiday window and a personal holiday greeting card. You are welcome to do just that.
- There will be no voting this time, every entry is in the spirit of the season and of the one who posts it, and is automatically a winner.
