CONGRATULATIONS PETER V!

Thank you, everyone, for reading my story. Also, thank you for shortlisting me.

I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday season.

 

[Cathbad]

Congrats, Peter V !!

Cheers Peter V. I reread your story. Spooky, timely and maybe even prescient. It occurred to me that for the jollyest time of the year a good number of these stories could form a horror anthology. Now don't get me wrong, I loved them. Happy New Year! Steak n eggs for everybody!

A huge APPLAUSE for the reviewers, and to all those who entered the challenge. Plus an AWESOME Award @reiver33 for a very close race.

A big THANK YOU to those who mentioned me. And...a gargantuan THANK YOU @Perpetual Man for a wonderful comment.





OK. I'm headed to the CRACKED POT, and anyone who wants to join me, I'm buying.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Congrats Peter V! Looking forward to your choices for January. Went right down to the last vote, I think...so, commiserations reiver33.

Thank you for the late listings, TJ, LittleStar, and Ursa.

And happy holidays to you, Calliopenjo! I hope you have a very good 2018.

[Peter V]

Thank you Ursa major for what turned out to be the deciding vote. I really did not see this coming - especially in light of the entry from reiver33, for which I voted myself. I still think it is an excellent tale, even if he does hates us

And a big thank you again for all of the votes and mentions.
