  1. Deadline is Dec 25th, before midnight 11:59PM CST - Anything submitted after the deadline will not be given consideration!!!!
  2. Post only your submissions in this thread! Any post that is not a valid entry will be deleted.
  3. Include the x,y coordinates in the post. We will visit each house in person to judge.
  4. This is a decoration contest, please include some form of decoration. Creativity with custom housing is nice, but decorations are a must!

  6. Staff built and/or decorated houses are not eligible for the competition.
  7. If you own an upgraded island, only the house portion will be judged.

A Few Tips for Success

Have a theme/story to your entry. Example: Pirate themed, dark and gory, and other themes from pop culture. You can also choose to tell a story with the decor. Whatever tickles your fancy! Just make sure it's holiday related!

Use your space wisely! We judge based off of the ENTIRE house, not just one area. If an area seems to be lacking in sections it may hurt your score. The same is true for over doing it. It will hurt your score if it looks like a box of random holiday deco exploded all over your house. Quantity<Quality

Small details can make a big impact. Creative use of ordinary items in ways not normally used can easily impress the judges. Using deco in a transformative manner is more impressive than just simply setting out deco.

Be on time!


Good luck to all who enters! We look forward to seeing your hard work!

Located at scenic (1870,953)...in the desert outside Brit Crossroads (ya know, cause...biblical accuracy and stuff) is a quaint nativity scene depicting the birth of our Lord and Savior. Straight from the pages of Big Daddy's Bible, this scene displays the wonderous birth of none other...than Cheesus Christ. In these trying times, it's easy to get wrapped up (pun intended) in the material aspects of Christmas...and we stray further from the true meaning: the reason for the season.

Few people know of the story of Leroy and Tammy....and the immaculate conception of Cheesus Christ. Legend has it that on the night of Cheesus' birth, Leroy and Tammy were walking to Ye Old Walmart...since Leroy lost his driver's license with that 5th DUI and the riding lawnmower wouldn't start...when Tammy had the overwhelming urge to drop a deuce. She wandered up to an abandoned house...scoping out a spot to pinch a loaf. To take the Browns to the Super Bowl...to drop the kids off at the pool...baptize the baby ruth. It didn't take long for Tammy to realize that this was no ordinary dump. There, in that slum...Tammy cried out in agony for Leroy. The scene caused a commotion, startling the local farm animals as they gathered to see what the hub bub was about (which was really strange for suburban Reno Nevada). There in the slum, Tammy "gave birth" to a tender, mild, 8lb 1oz baby cheese. As Tammy sat there in disbelief, unable to grasp the events that had unfolded that night, three hobos wandered up to the vacant lot that brisk night, bearing gifts of frankincence, myrrh, and bourbon (because who wouldn't need a drink after going through that?) Rumor has it the Starlink satellites guided them. They excitedly proclaimed they "thought they were UFOs!", probably because they were old and still somehow, haven't heard about Starlink.

So remember this Holiday, that Cheesus is the reason for the season...and consume cheese responsibly :oops:
 
Scrooge is very displeased that crimmas threw up all over his man cave...but such is life. BAH HUMBUG.

Nestled at the edge of the snow-covered mountains, Santa's Cottage stands in all its festive glory. The cozy abode is adorned with twinkling lights, and a warm glow emanates from its windows, inviting all who approach to step into the enchanting warmth within.

Beside the cottage, a magical area awaits, where children can eagerly share their Christmas wishes with the man in red himself. A small, lavishly decorated stage is set to greet the wide-eyed youngsters.

Adjacent to the stage stands seven giant presents, each as large as a room, serving as a testament to the boundless magic of the season. These colossal gifts sparkle with festive colors, capturing the imagination of anyone lucky enough to witness their grandeur.

Adding to the charm, a nativity scene graces the surroundings. Simple benches invite visitors to take a moment, reflect, and marvel at the timeless story of the birth of Christ. The air holds a sense of tranquility, a peaceful pause amidst the joyful hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

As families gather around, children excitedly approach Santa on his stage, their eyes filled with wonder and hope. The magic of Christmas, encapsulated in Santa's Cottage, provides a haven for joy, wishes, and the enduring spirit of the season.

There's still time to pay Santa a visit! Just put the coordinates (4006, 265) into your GPS and look for the snowmen out front to greet you!

In the heart of a serene, snow-covered isle, stood the IceCraft Factory, a magical establishment known for crafting everything from glaciers. Its owner, Frostwell, was a skilled ice artisan who possessed a unique ability to shape frozen water into intricate forms.

Frostwell's workers diligently mined the purest ice from nearby glaciers, hauling it back to the factory where the creative process unfolded. They sculpted furniture, dazzling sculptures, and even delicate swans, all born from the essence of ancient ice.

The factory hummed with activity; the air chilled with anticipation. Each item bore the mark of the glacial touch, and customers from distant lands marveled at the exquisite craftsmanship. The IceCraft Factory became renowned, drawing admirers and artists eager to witness the frosty magic.

Citizens were captivated, and news of the factory's newfound magic spread far and wide. Soon, the IceCraft Factory flourished even more, attracting orders to be shipped out shard wide. Frostwell's once-hidden chamber became a showcase for the most extraordinary ice masterpieces.

The Isle, once a quiet haven, transformed into a hub of creativity and wonder. The IceCraft Factory, with Frostwell's artistic vision, and tireless crafters continued to produce breathtaking glacial creations, leaving a frozen legacy for generations to come.
