I think last year there was some discussion about making the christmas themed contest an annual event? If so I guess we should get it underway.
Edit - I think maybe we skipped a year :-) Anyway here's the blurb from the contest announcement back in '04:
"Announcing the A Day in the Life of Caedes contest, with many thanks to Mum42 for coming up with this unique view of the world! The contest is open to all members with a limit of two entries and a submission deadline of January 5th, 2005. The images should be photographs or photographic manipulations or abstracts that best express the entrants view or interpretation of the time and place limited to the 24-hour cycle of 4pm (1600) December 24th through 4pm (1600) December 25th, 2004. This local time frame is to accommodate traditions in the US and abroad, so that both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations can be acknowledged."
wait, so when u mean upload during that time period, does that mean u also take the picture during that time period?...giving u 24 hours to take a pic...
I'd imagine we'd link it to the appropriate gallery or Holiday gallery, do we have a Holiday gallery...I forget, and then make a post here and link to your posting.
You would just upload to the "current contest" gallery... after it was over we would create a new gallery like "Holiday contest 2" or something to put them all in.
If we want to do this I need to know now people! Or it's going to be too late to organise it.
I think its a great idea but would like to see the time for uploading extended to allow those of us who will be away over the Christmas period to still enter.
Well I didn't think this was going to happen because not many people seemed interested, otherwise I would have made an announcement on the homepage... but if we get enough entries, why not.
Perhaps you could add to you notes an approximate time when the photo was taken... and I think I'll upload one I have lying around too...
OK, I put the date & time on it. I was disappointed with my photos at Christmas as this my be my only entry, just wasn't a good day of shooting for some reason. Too much eggnog perhaps! 8~O

A very geeky Christmas It's a little rough, and I never got to touch it up before I lost the original file, so enjoy and critique, and I'll make a better one next year (or week, if i feel inspired...)
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
(Whining) AWWW...WE ALWAYS do a Holiday Season contest...I like the current Urban Life competition...it's different...I only wish there were more entries to date...but the contest has been extended...so here's hoping...
