An A-N Xmas - Day 1

Due to the overwhelming response and enormous amount of entries for the first day of A-N's 12 days of Xmas competition - which was to make a Christmas-themed banner for the site - we couldn't determine a single winner. And so, we hope (though our fingers and toes aren't crossed) that there'll be a few less entries for the second day and we won't be going mad trying to find a clear-cut winner. No pressure guys.

And so, with not much time left, we're taking the opportunity to bring your microscopic attention to the second day of our brilliantly difficult competition, which is to make a post - that's all we swear - in this here thread. Sound hard? Hard like a banner? Well nearly, but I think you can manage it. And since there's no pressure of deciding on an individual post (we're picking one at total random), there's a great chance that we'll have a definite winner this time. But hurry, entering - or is that posting? - in this stupidly easy competition ends midnight tonight, with our crack team of random-ators working through the night to declare a winner tomorrow. Good luck, you'll need it.

And what do you get for all your hard, hard work? Why free, non-GST, tax deductible Wii Points to waste on whatever you want. Winners will be gifted them in due time. Most of these small, simple, maybe-take-you-five-minutes competitions will earn the winner 500 Wii Points, with the final two days gaining 1000 Wii Points each. Want a reminder of what you have to do? Well, here's the list:

And by 'due' we mean 'all entries due by11:59pm of due date'. So, the entrants of Day One must get their entries in by midnight December 12th and a winner will be announced December 13th. Got it? No? Re-read that sentence and come back to me. PM all entries (except Days Two and Four) to BoonMcNougat with 'A-N X-Mas Day One/Two/etc,' in the topic title. Crap, that might take another five minutes. Anyway, you've got a little over 10 hours to make a piddling post in that thread, so get cracking, though that belly button lint isn't going to dig itself out, is it?
