I have no idea why I like this photo from Max Bahnson of Tursko in the Czech Republic, author of Pivni Filosof. But I do. Is it because the baby juxtaposed with beer category is a glimmer of the Christmas tale itself? Or is it because I have a photo of my twelve year when she was six months old reaching for my beer at Rogues Roost in Halifax, NS? Whatever it is, that is a classic. [Which may mean I need a sub-category of prizes for "photos from my cousin in downstate New York".] Here are Max's other entries:

More later. Maybe a prizes update and more photos. Gotta get to work now.
