Shirley Hughes' Alfie books have been entertaining pre-school readers for over 30 years and when Alfie's Christmas was published last year our giveaway was met with glowing reviews from Mumsnetters. One reader remarked 'I think reading it will become a Christmas tradition in our house!'

To celebrate Alfie's Christmas this year Random House Children's books are running a competition to find the best home-made Christmas decorations. We want you to take a pic of your creations (or those made by your dcs) and upload it to this thread. The winner will receive an award winning red Mini Micro Scooter just like Alfie's and two runners up will each receive a copy of Alfie's Christmas book.

Post up your pictures of your creations before Sunday 14th December and the winner will be announced on Monday 15th.

Shirley Hughes' latest book A Year of Stories is a beautiful treasury filled with tales and poems for every month of the year and includes some of the Alfie Stories. Find out more about the book and download the Alfie activity sheets.

This competition is sponsored by Random House Children's books.

Thanks to all those who have entered the comp so far- there's some brilliant creations here. For those who have yet to enter - you may find inspiration by watching our latest youtube video for instructions on how to make a super-easy homemade Christmas wreath. No fancy tools or special equipment needed, just some string and some clippers, plus whatever you can find in the garden. Bling fairy lights optional. Watch the video, make your own wreath and upload a pic of it to this thread to enter the competition.

The competition is now closed. We've sent the pics over to Random House and we'll announce the winners shortly.

Congratulations to ...{drumroll} sjonlegs who has won the scooter for her "adorable Christmas tree hanging cookies" (quote from judges at Random House) and to runners up, Tigerlily13 for the lovely reindeer and thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter for the wonderful snow-house (and for impressively submitting with just 5 mins to spare!). Both have won copies of Alfie's Christmas. We'll be in touch tomorrow with instructions for claiming your prizes.
