On this last day of the 12 Days Contest, Thunder69 has shared a superb letter he wrote as part of a family tradition. I found this story to be heartwarming, full of tradition, and beautifully written. Send me your addy and the grand prize is yours. I want to thank everyone for joining the contest and sharing your stories with us. I feel like I know each of you a little bit better, and this has been my grand prize. The RTH forum is the best on the web, and it is wonderful folks like you who make it so. I wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year. My dog Holly also wishes you a Merry Christmas, with this one last closing photo:  Vance |

Your Contests meant a lot. Not only this years, but also the first one. I read every one and went back and revisited the first one you did.
You provided space that allowed stories to be shared that may not otherwise have been.
I hope your Christmas was as wonderful as mine.
Thank you Vance.

Cool contest Vance. If I were your doggie, I would bite you on the ankle though. Oh the humiliation of being decorated like a furry Xmas tree *LOL*.....Mel
