'A Christmas Story' Contest
________________________________________
In honor of the favorite Christmas movie of all-time, it is time for my first contest. ‘A Christmas Story’ movie quiz. The winner will receive a $50 motor credit with Tim of Giant Leap Rocketry for selection of the winner’s choice. In case of a tie, even with the tie breakers, we’ll figure out another round of tiebreakers up to and including a drawing of the leaders. Having to do something to keep this fair or work through any problems will be handled at my discretion.
