Time to get creative, and there are prizes at stake! To replace exchanging Christmas cards at church, join the fun!
We’d like to invite you to create a Christmas Photo to use as a greeting for the congregation. We’d like to be able to use these on our church Facebook page during Christmas week. The basic idea is this –
Take a picture of yourself (and family) in a Christmas setting, preferably where you live. If you submit a photo, you automatically get entered into the Random Gift Drawing Bin.
But special awards go to the photos that include the most points based on the following additional items.
1. Christmas tree 25
2. Lights on the tree actually on 10
3. Tree decorations 10
4. Candle in the photo 15
5. Nativity scene 25
6. Every “nativity scene baby Jesus” in the photo 10
7. Christmas cookie/s 15
8. Something burning (Fireplace/candle/whatever) 05
9. Ugly Christmas sweater (being worn!) 25 for one, each additional, 5
10. Christmas stocking 15
11. Christmas card 10
12. Christmas themed face mask 05

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, MIDNIGHT.
Digitally To Dan.whitney@mcnaz.com or submit hard copy to church office before deadline. Get your kids or some local teens to help you with the digital part! If you don’t want to do all the crazy stuff – that is okay . . . most of all, we want to include your picture and greeting!
You should supply a list of things you believe are in your photo, so that the judges can find what you say is there. Otherwise, we are not responsible for missed points!!!
Awarding of duplicate points for multiple items in the same category won’t happen unless the category specifically states it is allowed. . . or the judges get bribed.
