I'm sure I'll dream something else up during the month, but in the meantime I'll kick off with this one from last year:

Got snowed on at a log cabin near Inverness. It does look a bit Christmassy though

Some more here

Not really xmassy, but this is what Mrs GoatFoam is getting from me.

I had a bit of health problems earlier this month and i was staying in Lisbon with family and i didn't take my laptop so i only checked the forum occasionally and i din't take many pics myself.

People have a few more days if you wish to participate.

.... and we're done.

Pretty thin on the ground for entries this month, but there we are.

Let's have a shortlist of your top three then Paula and get some votes in..

Meow, i liked your picture but it gave more of a feeling of winter not Christmas. Goat Foam, the same yours din't give me the feeling necessarily of Xmas. Maybe if the Xmas wrapping or something would be nxt to the ring it would have been different.

Glad you ddidn't pick the ring, as it wasn't supposed to be my entry. Unfortunately circumstances intervened and I didn't get to sort out a proper xmas picture.

Yay me!

I'll pick a topic tomorrow and set up the new thread

Yay you, indeed, and a worthy winner. However, I thought that the second soldier pic with the out of focus Christmas tree was/is absolutely stunning, and worthy of being on the front of a Christmas card or something. I'll write a message for you if you like
