CC Birthday and Christmas is coming! Help us prepare contest

Dear Crushers,

As I'm sure those of you that have been with us for more than a year will know we have a DOUBLE CELEBRATION EVERY DECEMBER EVERY YEAR!

This year will be no different apart from a couple of things.

First and foremost, our dear Rita (OrangeCrush) had to leave her position held here since we began due to illness at the end of December last year. I miss her as I know you all do and continue keeping in touch and wishing her and family all the best whilst she does her best to get better and enjoy more time with them

My family has grown with the arrival of our 2 beautiful twin girls and the time I have to be creative is also quite a bit less at the moment whilst I try to spend as much time with them in their very early age as I can in between business and home life generally.

So, what I would very much like to do is ask for your help (and reward you of course) for coming up with Birthday and Christmas contest ideas.

The way I plan to run our contests in December is thus:-

1 unique posting contest for every day of the month.
- 15 contest ideas to celebrate our birthday (1st - 15th Dec)
- 16 contest ideas to celebrate the festive christmas holiday period (16th-31st Dec)

As such, there will be no A-Z contest this month so we can concentrate on this one

VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE REPLYING!!!

- First off, please don't post any comments UNLESS you write them in the same reply as a contest idea!

(If you have any questions - send me a PM)
- The reason for the above, is I may not get to read through them until near the end of November.

YOUR CONTEST IDEA POST MUST INCLUDE:
- A subject for your suggested contest (Birthday OR Christmas themed)
- A description of your contest (what it is about and what kind of things people should reply to enter - ideally with an example or two).
- How winner(s) should be determined (this can be a random draw and will be the default if not stated)

Please put ALL of the above in ONE REPLY for ONE CONTEST each time.

A couple of DON'TS ....

As I would like these contests to be DIFFERENT FROM USUAL - I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY 'A-Z' POSTING Contests!!! It is a special time of year and needs to be a bit different please

Please also do not suggest HIDE AND SEEK / TREASURE HUNT type contests where you want me to hide things around the forum and you try to find them -- as these take up a LOT of time that I sadly don't have these days.

During the month (from around 20th) I will start looking through the suggestions made and will determine winners and create contest topics (hidden but ready for December)

WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON/AROUND 1ST DECEMBER ALONG WITH THE FIRST WINNING CONTEST IDEA BEING POSTED TOO.

RULES:
- Please make sure you READ ABOVE BEFORE POSTING to ensure you include everything required for your contest idea entry

(Any that I see that are incorrect or one-word answers that leave too much guesswork will be removed).
- Please do not duplicate others suggestions - if its a good idea, the first only will be taken as a winner.
- The author (member) of each winning contest idea will receive a REWARD of at between $1 - $3 for 100 - 300 CCpoints (depending on the originality and thoroughness of the answer).
- I don't mind too much about using contest ideas that you have seen on other forums BUT PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THEM -- write them in your own words and make sure it is all applicable to this contest.
- IF THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH GREAT IDEAS ...
----> Some may be rewarded and used for future contests

- IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH GREAT IDEAS ...
----> Then there will be less contests and prizes during December

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP IN MAKING OUR NEXT BIRTHDAY AND CHRISTMAS AN EVENTFUL DECEMBER

STANDARD CONTESTS AND PRIZES TERMS APPLY
