December Challenge...

"How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's noon.
December is here before June.
My goodness how time has flown.
How id it get so late so soon.
                   -Dr. Seuss

December...just around the corner.  It means holidays, family, maybe snow, and best of all traditions, which us what our December challenge will be: "Holiday Traditions."  What do you do that has become a tradition.  Maybe it is baking and decorating sugar cookies, putting up the tree with family time, perhaps you put on special music.  What about the Electric light parade, do you go to it and freeze  your "can" off.  Is it hot chocolate, eggnog, or lights.  It might be watching all those Christmas movies. Whatever you consider your tradition, photograph it.  Think about composition.  How can you make it interesting? Next think about lighting.  How can you make it dramatic, or with bokeh?  Remember you are capture a moment in time that tells a story to others.  I know you will have some great ideas, and wonderful shots.

Rules:
1.  You may submit no more than 2 pictures.
2.  Pictures can be submitted in print, CD, or on a flash drive.
