MNHQ - I've had an idea for a competition!!!

[nappyaddict]

I know it's early yet but please please please can we have a Christmas Tree competition?

We all take photos of our decorated christmas trees, put them on our profile and then vote for a winner?

boo hoo does no one like my idea.

here's mine

Only if the entries were anonymous so you voted for the tree, not the poster's name.

That tree is magnificent.

Agree anonymous is good.
Could have categories. Best on a budget, Best all out excess, best dECOrations etc.

noooooo, that would leave to best decorated grotto house

no no no
Categories I'm telling you
Avoid the hideous grotto-horrors by not hvaing a grotto-horror category.
Classiest tree
Lentiliest tree
Most invetive use of a mooncup
Best modern
Best traditional
etc

stripeymama is it you that's just emailed me? are your initials BM?

lentiliest tree or tree of lentils

Best knitted tree?

Mine will surely win the "Best tree decorated by a three-year-old with tinsel exploded everywhere and all the baubles in the same place" category

Mine will be the best Monica from friends tree we each decorate a side and i turn it round

How about a before and after category? ie "this is the tree my children decorated before they went to bed" and "this is the tree now that I have tweaked it after they have gone to bed?

I would win that one.

Oh I don't know DG.....might pip you to that particular award!

Actually, I imagine it will strongly contested. I think I will enter the "Tree obviously in need of tweaking but kindly left so that children do not think their efforts are undervalued" category.

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely you know that you're on to a loser there.... there are many a MNer who doesn't believe in interfering with their wee darling's crap creative genius!

I let my children have their own (artificial) tree in their room so they can use all the tinsel and tat and palstic crappiness whcih I cannot bear to put on my real tree

would this one win any prizes?

Boogalooblue, that one would win the prize for the tree most likely to induce vomiting.

or this?

am very tempted by this one

If it was down to dh we would be entering the "This is the hole where the tree would go if I wasn't a bah humbug miserable old git"

Hi
Sorry nappyaddict hadn't seen this before now. Thanks for this. We'll have a think.

oh and there's me thinking you were just ignoring me cos i come up with rubbish ideas
