Michael Ventura 5,043 Posted December 9, 2019 Hi All, I am very open to seeing anything that depicts the spirit of the upcoming holidays and it is not just Christmas, could be the New Year, Hanukkah, Kawanza etc.... My examples are mostly Christmas related but don't let that limit you! Please submit up to three photos and they must be from your Alamy collection (still time to shoot new ones!). Can't wait to see what you have! Submissions close at the last second of 2019 (GMT) December 31st! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colin Woods 672 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Three from me A couple taking a selfie in Quebec City Forgotten the words. By the second verse of the song all the kids were at wildly different places in the song, making a cacophony that only a parent can a) imagine and b) enjoy. Here my son (on the right) is looking vague but is gamely still going. The same can't be said of his fellow singer who knows its a facepalm moment. A little girl silhouetted against a father christmas. I don't know why but the middle photo looks all squashed here. Its not of course, click on it to see what it really looks like.

Betty LaRue 2,698 Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) The top one was a pine near a lake in Oklahoma. I decorated part of it for a photo shoot. The second one was my outdoor tree during a bad ice storm in Oklahoma. We got freezing rain a lot in the winter. In the top right is lights called “icicle lights” hanging from the roof eave. They truly were icicle lights that year. The third were trees a corporate oil & gas company in Oklahoma City decorated on their campus each year. They were beautiful.
