Time flies. It especially flies when you make your Yuletide Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa and Hogmanay beer blog contest a bit shorter. Just three weeks this year. You need to react. Get on board.

Eric Steen of the excellently named Beer and Sci-Fi sent in this picture of a pack of homebrewed beer I mailed to his brother for Christmas last year with hand-drawn Christmas labels. Eric lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado and has no idea how many Doctor Who and Joe 90 DVDs I have and neither do you. Thomas Cizauskas of of Virginia as well as Yours For Good Fermentables sent in his third entry of the contest, this one a picture of a rather alarming tattoo.

Matt Galletta of Troy, NY - home of Famous Lunch, the best named snack stop on the planet - sent in these photos:

Bryan Kolesar of Brew Lounge sent in these five photos. I am sure there are five. Who wouldn't know that you should only send in five?

Bill Lowe of Livonia, Michigan sent in these four entries including one remarkably well done portrait of a Magic Hat #9. These four also remind me to remind you to make sure your photos are arond 500 KB as these just took a whole whack of time to resize on my 2003 Dell special computer.

Kathryn Anderson of London England as well as Westfield New Jersey (don't ask... just don't...) sent in a couple more entries. Both are from the pub The Rake. She apologizes: "I was hoping to submit a beer-in-snow photo (or crazy Brits drinking outside the pub in snow photo), but London seems to be the only place in the UK not getting snow."

Hannah Taylor sent in this entry to the left. She lives in the 715 telephone area code - aka Wisconsin. I am guessing she works at KegWorks. John Lewington, former Grand National Winner, added this photo to the right - and threw in this message: "Greetings from a bloody cold and very snowy England! Never having the chance to photograph beer in snow in this part of England before, I'm hoping you will accept a late substitute for any one of my previous entries. Snow in Suffolk in November, is like a Canadian wanting to be an American. Very rare! I'll drink to your health with the beer in the photograph." Did I mention that the five photo rule does not apply to snow scenes where the snow is a meteorological rarity? You must have known that. You must have.

There are more entries but I will stop there. I need a home life. I need to figure out how to break the news of that big big prize. I need to figure out how I am giving away the prizes...
