Show Us Your Home for the Holidays...December ActiveRain Challenge

Show Us Your Home for the Holidays...December ActiveRain Challenge

Do you have a favorite display you visit at the holidays? If so share it. Does your town do a really creative job of decorating their downtown? Show us. Does your neighbor start decorating the first week in November and have a heck of a light display? Show us and tell us all about it. 

Show Us Your Home for the Holidays...December ActiveRain ChallengeYou don't really have to show us your home, and how you decorated it for the holidays...unless you want to. All you have to do is take a picture of a holiday scene from your town, neighborhood, street or even your own home. This is designed to be a fun and easy challenge for everyone this month, and I think it will be really neat to look at the different decorations and scenes from around the country. 

The rules are very simple. I know everyone is busy at this time of the year. You must include a picture that you took. That's the whole point of the challenge...to share a local holiday scene. Then tell us about it. Try to make your post around 200 words. 

You can include more than one picture if you would like. The more the merrier...right?

When you are done...post a link below so I can see it, and fill out the form. It's that simple. Everyone who participates will receive 500 points. It doesn't get any easier than this. 

This contest will run until midnight on December 31st, 2014.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays...you name it. Show us your home for the holidays.

I filled out the form Debbie Laity but didn't know whether to put only the user name or the full profile.  I like these easy ones.  In case the form didn't work, I'm like Praful Thakkar , here's mine.

Hello Debbie,

Thank you for hosting this wonderful Holiday contest.  I actually did a series, 5 in total - I went overboard (LOL).

Have a Happy New Year!

I had planned to visit a light display nearby and then landed myself in the hospital! Darn. Now it's too dang cold to go (for me), so I did my best. I'm including my link here, even though I filled out the form!

Great contest! We need to do it every year!

Thanks everyone for taking the time out of your busy work and holiday schedules to participate in this contest. I wanted to make it fun and easy and it seems like everyone agrees it was. I can't believe the turnout and support from all of you. 

I'm still in the process of returning all of your comments. It has been a busy time of the year for me, too. 

Please do make sure you filled out the form. That is how your points will be awarded.

Hi, Everyone. I just wanted to let you know, that I contacted Kerrie about the points. She told me the points would be awarded by the end of the week or early next week. Check the date at the bottom of this comment to know what week I'm talking about.  I hope you all remembered to fill out the form. That is what will get you the points. 

Thanks to everyone again for entering. This was fun, and we'll do it again.

Yes, what a great post.  Active Rain has truly become a Sanctuary for us Realtors.  Reminds me of an innovative method I'm using for Desert Ridge out here.
