<\/a>ENTER X-MAS BUNKER HERE<\/a><\/p>\nAs far as the coloring contest goes…I dunno.\u00a0 It’s a lot of work.\u00a0 It’s website crap and that’s time-consuming and here’s the thing- It really hasn’t been serving the purpose I hoped it would the last couple years.\u00a0 That being it gives all of us, who the holidays are not kind to, something to do during the holidays.\u00a0 It gives people something to work on, it gives people something to watch unfold…and MOST importantly it gives ME something to watch unfold.<\/p>\n
LAST YEARS CONTEST\/CONTESTANTS HERE<\/a><\/p>\n BUT…the last couple years everyone’s been turning in their entries at the last minute ( Jan.2).\u00a0 By Jan.2nd the holidays are over and I don’t need the distraction anymore.\u00a0 and what I get instead of a steady stream of stuff to upload and look at as the holidays grind me down…is a glut of stuff to deal with in the course of a few days.\u00a0 Which turns something fun and distracting into a choir at a time I have other stuff to do.<\/p>\n It’s vexing because the website gets a lot of traffic during the holidays…A LOT.\u00a0 and yet…despite me saying you can enter as much as you like and you don’t need any real skill…people either just watch and\/or wait\/work til the last minute like they have to turn in the Mona Lisa of X-mas cards.<\/p>\n If it’s not fun ( for me) than screw it.\u00a0 and I’m not really in a super mood this year…even for me.<\/p>\n I’m defiantly not in the mood to drum up sponsors and judges and all a that.\u00a0 Someone last year said they were too nervous to send anything in…I guess I kinda get that…maybe…there are a f*ckton of people who will see it if it’s on my blog\/website but…we’re just fooling around here. It’s a coloring contest where I said you can use ketchup packets if you feel like it.<\/p>\n I think maybe, I’ll put on a scaled down version.\u00a0 See what I have laying around for prizes or something like that.<\/p>\n I’ll let you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Arsenic Lullaby X-mas bomb Shelter is up, should you need to use it.
