Bill Jones
Managing Editor
Oh, so you’re those kind
of gift-givers, huh? Don’t
want to send us a card until
you know what you might
get in return?
That’s not exactly in the
Christmas spirit, but we get
it.
The 2018 Holiday Card
Contest is already underway,
but this week we promised
the announcement of prizes.
And, as promised, you will
find the full prize list for
each category in the accompanying
sidebar.
As a recap, the contest
asks you to send us your best
homemade Christmas cards,
the most boastful of yearend
letters (snark the halls, if
that’s your thing), children’s
drawings to be left with
cookies for Santa, photos of
your co-workers in reindeer
antlers and noses, crafty
Kwanzaa greetings or Hanukkah
Hallmarks — basically,
whatever it is you send
to your loved ones to make
sure they get something in
the mail around the holidays
other than stale fruitcakes
from distant relatives, magazine
subscription renewal
notices and Columbia House
compact discs.
Whatever it is you do for
the people you love during
the holidays (just the
PG-13 stuff, please), simply
address these things to
Managing Editor Bill Jones,
and mail them to 11516
W. 183rd St. Unit SW Office
Condo 3, Orland Park,
IL, 60467. Make sure the
items somewhere include a
name and a phone number
at which we can reach you,
should you happen to win
the contest, as well as your
hometown.
We will accept submissions
through 5 p.m. Thursday,
Dec. 20. They must be
HERE FOR YOU, NO MATTER WHAT.
