MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY GLP "FAM!" HOPE YOURS IS THE BEST THIS YEAR!




Time for the Christmas Caption Contest for 2022.
This is an unusual year and I'm expecting this to be an "unusual Caption Contest"
with all the great creative GLP member contributions to lift our collective spirits (we need it.)
This will be my 8th hosted Caption Contest...with many members adding upgrades
as we go along...So there may be MORE membership upgrades "gifted" during this
Christmas Caption Contest!

Listen to some holiday carols while we enjoy the contest!

3696 PEOPLE WATCHING THIS "LIVE STREAM FIREPLACE W/PIANO CAROLS"
TODAY! (Isn't that just TOO SWEET?)

NEW IDEA FOR THIS CHRISTMAS CONTEST!
My co-host for the thread, GLP's PARANOIAAAAA, brings us
pictures of her beloved "BUTTERS" (who will sponsor the
karma-Pts for the trial upgrades) to caption! How fun is
this? The Chihuahua picture is MY DOG "Dolly!"
Let's think of some fun (or serious if that is your mood) CAPTIONS
TO THE CHRISTMAS PICTURES BELOW. CAPTION 1 OR MORE OF THE IMAGES
(KEEP IT CLEAN, PLEASE! KIDS SEE THESE PICTURES!)

PIC #1 TITLE: "BUTTERS FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE!"
:buttersXMAS:

PIC #2 TITLE: BUTTERS DOES "DUCK AND COVER FOR BAD WEATHER"

https://imgur.com/sDRiXYs

PIC #3 TITLE: "Dolly's PARANORMAL STORIES"


PIC #4 TITLE: "DOLLY'S HIP-DEEP IN ALLIGATORS"


CAPTION ALL OR INDIVIDUAL PICTURES--BE SURE TO ADD THE
TITLE AND #NUMBERS (SO WE KNOW FOR WHICH PIC YOU'RE DOING
YOUR CAPTION ENTRY.) Please remember! If you are an A.C.
wishing to enter the contest, you will need to REGISTER
with GLP (you'll see a BLUE NAME) before we can offer the
UPGRADE!

WE HAVE 6 POSSIBLE JANUARY 2023 MEMBERSHIPS WITH WHICH
TO AWARD FOR "CREATIVITY"
FOR THIS YEAR'S 2022 CHRISTMAS CAPTION CONTEST...SO YOUR CHANCES ARE VERY GOOD!
(Anyone wishing to ADD ANOTHER MEMBERSHIP FOR WARDS...please PM me!)
NOTE:
Due to my payday...the 2 awards O's Cookie will be giving
will appear January 4th. Sorry for the wait.

If you need an example of past caption contests here are the
links (below) to a couple of contests using different pictures
to caption.

EXAMPLES "Traditional Christmas Caption Contest" thread (2019)
remember that Christmas when things were STILL "Abbi-NORMAL?"
Thread: CONTEST OPEN TO 11:00 PM EST: CHRISTMAS CAPTION CONTEST--WIN 1 OF 3 JANUARY MEMBERSHIPS
AND
Thread: CONTEST CLOSED--ANNUAL EASTER CAPTION CONTEST STARTS TONIGHT! Goes thru Easter! Let's Go!

ALTERNATE ENTRY IDEA:

You may ALSO enter ANY VIDEO CLIP and a caption remark for the clip
for your caption entry--this has been a really fun "alternative entry"
in past years. (example from last year's video winner below.)


[link to youtu.be (secure)]

CAPTION WAS: "I think she said the name was "Abby Normal" or something."
(Eggor explains the label on the jar USED for Frankenstein's BRAIN...to Dr. F...as
we figure out why the "Frankenstien Monster" has "issues.")

12 WINNERS (MAYBE MORE?) WILL BE ANNOUNCED
EITHER VERY EARLY A.M. CHRISTMAS NIGHT OR TOMORROW IF
WE END UP KEEPING THE CONTEST OPEN FOR MORE ENTRIES!
12 WINNERS WILL TAKE A BIT OF TIME TO COORDINATE WITH
MY SPONSORS--SO PLEASE BE PATIENT FOR YOUR GOLD STAR OR
SILVER STAR...AND GREEN KARMA FOR GLP MEMBERS!


SORRY...But you must be a "registered member" (blue name
with "free registration" or a currently "expired paid
account/member) for me to UPGRADE YOU. A.C.s cannot
receive the upgrade.


GOOD LUCK! AND A VERY SPECIAL HOLIDAY!

THIS THREAD WILL BE MONITORED CHRISTMAS DAY.
