The voting for the DCCCBoA (Delony Christmas Card Contest Bonanza of Amazingness) is finally over!

It was a tough one this year. I felt like I was dealing with the BCS committee, but the judges (kids, ages 6-1) thought long and hard and picked a winner (which is highly disputed and controversial in our household). But leave it to the kids to be a sucker for cute animals (hint, hint for next year). 

So I give you the 2nd Annual DCCCBoA Winner!

Katherine Kitchens is the winner of this year’s best Christmas card! Well done! A Starbucks gift card will be in the mail soon for you to sip a warm cup of victory.

And for me personally, I give you my vote of the most amazing cowboy Christmas card. I’ve never gotten one quite like this and don’t think I ever will. 

Ray Bell, I am amazed and tip my hat to you…

For the rest of you, better luck next year.

Want to make your yuletide brighter this year? How about two free movie rentals from Netflix?  

First person to correctly name (specifically) the “pop culture” inspiration behind the decoration of this Christmas tree wins. 

It’s just that simple (though the answer isn’t)…

Post your answer in the comment section. 

Good luck!

[Note: this is not my Christmas tree]

Gosh, I love my insane youth leaders. Willing to do anything to amuse the youth.

Kenny and Ruslan face off here eating a habanero pepper. The first person to drink water, eat bread or mayo loses.

It’s amusing to watch. Feel their pain…

And we’ve also started a new saying “Mayo Truce”… not quite sure what it means but see if you can fit it into normal conversation today.

These events were inspired by my kids.
