Apologies for the delay.  I wanted to wait until all votes were in, but then Christmas happened.  So - top three and the rest in no particular order...

Tho everyone who knocked one out during the harried holiday season deserves special kudos.  

Best,

Don

My top pic!
Well done everyone else too. Some really entertaining entries.

P.S. I was sure Zack entered...?

A great way to finish the year for Mark. Way to go.

Congratulations Mark! Well done.

Apologies to all for not getting comments in for this OWC. I read and voted but I've been travelling since submission. As you can tell, A Midnight Clear was written fast and furious. I shouldn't have entered with my time constraints. It won't happen again. Promise.

Well done, Mark

I thought Time to Shine was by far the best  

Congratulations are in order, Mark. And great job everyone else!

Thanks, guys. I'm chuffed with this as I've never written a family Christmas script before, nor anything from the viewpoint of an inanimate object. It was good to get out of my comfort zone. I suppose I can go work for Hallmark or Pixar now, right?

Congrats Mark and well done to all!

Congrats to Mark and all!
I read quite a few but didn't comment as I was planning to finish the reads and vote and I didn't.
Bad for me.

Tought challenge I'd say, so loud claps for everyone who entered!
