I am pleased to announce the winners of the 2015 Holiday Photo Contest! The Darlinboy family enjoyed a relaxing Sunday afternoon perusing the entries, and picking our favorites. Photos were judged using personal preference as the only criteria. We each picked our favorites, then, after some toasty warm discussion in front of the fireplace, reached consensus on the winners.

Fifth Prize (Honorable Mention) - @bristnj (WIS greeting card-ready!) Special Mention - Funniest Photo Series in a 2015 Holiday Photo Contest on ΩF - @Mad Dog I will contact each winner regarding selection and delivery of the prizes.

Congrats winners and a big thanks to @Darlinboy and family judges, was fun to snap some non wrist shots! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, even the Grinch.
Thanks @ Darlinboy and family - that was a lot of fun. Congrats to the finalists - all great pics. p.s. The Grinch series is very "Lynchian". (or is it Lynch-esque?). Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
@Darlinboy - Great fun, thank you for putting this together. The real winner is you! Spending the day with your wife and kids, in front of a fire, judging, having fun as a family and talking watches.......priceless. Well done mate. Beautiful pics from all as well. My better half and I enjoyed looking through them last evening together. Thanks again and Happy Holidays to all.
Woohoo!! That was a great thread @Darlinboy!! All the photos were amazing. I am really curious about the present for @Mad Dog.
I just got my first (and likely my only) Christmas gifts this year .... I happen to have the added benefit of living quite close to the holiday Ω-F shipping center ! Thanks, @Darlinboy family! And thanks to all participants for adding holiday cheer to the Forum and all our members...
What a great initiative and what community spirit! Great pictures also. Congrats to the winners. I'm gonna enjoy this place ;-)
Be curious no more @Difeer! I received a new Speedy Gonzales w/ Rothco protective band...AND a new Frankenwatch w/ storage pouch from the Darlinboy (Farmer John) family!!! Note: Both watches arrived set to the correct time!!! Many thanks to the Darlinboy (Farmer John) family for their generosity and thoughtfulness!!!
Your new Frankenstein watch has your name all over it When you and your lovey Mrs. go to your next formal affair be sure and wear that beauty
