The Special Holiday-themed Picture Of The Month Contest!

Time for what has become a TCS tradition! We're looking for your best holiday-themed pictures. Christmas trees, menorahs, snow or gifts...

Clarifying because @Draco  asked me to: Must have a cat or cats in the photo. Geckos cannot be considered as cats.

If think it could make a good Happy Holidays card, submit it to the contest!

The sponsor for this contest is - 

Bravo

The winner will be getting two cans of Bravo’s new Feline Cafe meals. Each recipe is grain and gluten free. These complete and balanced, natural dinners feature delicious cuts of meat or poultry as the first ingredient!


Prizes can be shipped within the US only but please don't let that stop you from joining in the fun! If you win, I'm sure we can think of a US-based shelter you can donate the prize to (or even to another TCS member!).  

Submissions will be accepted through Monday, December 19th.

The Rules:

1. Choose the best picture you have for our monthly theme and post it to this thread. Please mention the cat's name!
    
2. Image needs to be clear and not too small. 480 pixels high by 640 pixels wide minimum.  Larger is better.
    
3. One submission per member please 
   
   
    
4. No special effects, borders, graphics or text on the pictures. 

Photos will not necessarily be monitored during the contest. If your photo fails to comply with the above rules we may have to exclude it from the voting stage.

Our cats are ALL amazingly beautiful! This friendly photo contest is about the way in which the cat is captured in the picture. We're not looking for professional photography, but do try to keep things like image quality, lighting and composition in mind. 

Good luck everyone!

I can't wait to see the entries here!

NOT AN ENTRY

it doesn't meet the requirements, but I wanted to share anyway

Ohh fun!

I don't have many holiday things around the house but I had a tiny tree that my son keeps in his room and the cats at a few festive mice toys LOL

Ariel on right, Jophiel on left. 

Hmm.. Holiday theme, doesn't say it HAS to be cats, right? This is Petrie, my crested gecko. if it's unacceptable, I'll find a kitty photo then!

This one of Spike always makes me laugh. It shows that the holidays can be a bit stressful for everyone.

Smudge loves Christmas

Artie from a few years ago...

Espa's the best present ever with her little gingerbread man toy, at only 8 months. She hated me for this, but it was worth it!

ok, here's my real entry for this contest. Monet playing with a toy he unwrapped from under the tree. 

Jerry LOVES the Xmas tree!!!! Happy holidays to all the sweet kitties))

Here's my sweet boy Angel.

Gypsy Rose hanging out in the Christmas tree.

Beauties!

This was Mouse enjoying Santa present unwrapping last year.   Something tells me he knew this Christmas cracker had his favourite fish snacks inside.  

I tried to get some cute pictures of Zazzie and Tesla laying by the tree. I also tried to put bows on their heads but they weren't having that so I just set the bows on their backs for a few seconds. I tried to get Zazzie to look at me but she just completely ignored me and went on being a cat [emoji]128568[/emoji][emoji]128571[/emoji]
