The competition was excruciating. The judging was tense (see below). After hours of deliberation, my kids voted on a winner.

The WINNER of the

1st Annual Delony Christmas Card Contest Bonanza of Amazingness

is…

THE BUSSEY FAMILY!

Going with the homemade feel, the judges found it irresistible. Sure you can buy a snappy card, but make one of your own? Genius. The card was drawn by young miss Hope Bussey, so we’ve decided to award Hope one prize and the family another. Congratulations!

Second prize is award to: April DeFelice (I won’t mention that she’s my sister in law, because some may cry nepotism). And second prize carries with it the knowledge and pride that you could have been third (even though there is no third). Congrats!

Thank you to all those who played. They were all valiant efforts, better luck next year losers.
