Give me a break.......What do you have to do to win in this survey.....Is it because You don't know me.

I had more lights than all 5 of those houses combined and not even a top 5.(54 has alot of lights but you should also judge that they get to use there backyard)

I call BS to this whole contest...tell you what why don't you just stop judging because it is starting to piss people off.

More isn't always better! Its overall presentation!

I saw many nicely decorated houses in our Survey, and yours was probably one one them!

However, this *is* a contest put on and funded by Chris from his pocket, so why isn't it fair for him to judge?

Also some constructive criticism can go a long way, like say, a suggestion to improve it for next year and get more involved in all facets (including funding the prizes?), and multiple judges, instead of just coming off as an angry poor-loser?

Just my 2 cents...

Congrats to the winners of the Contest! We hope to be involved and competing next year (err...this year!) now that we are all settled in :)

Well that is ok. There is always next year. I do it for the kids that walk by and say they love my lights and not for this contest.

Thanks for your 2 Cents
PS what ever happened to 2006?
