On your marks, get set, GO!
Today, now that a few weeks have passed since the competition opened, I am pleased to share my selection with you.
It was with great pleasure that I discovered each of your creations to be more original than the last! Right now, I want to congratulate everybody. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us and thank you for taking the time to imagine all this. Bravo!
I, therefore, in my best conscience selected 10 creations that I most prefer.
Here we go:

Creator’s description:
A Snow Globe in the Middle Earth
"This is a Snow Globe, but not any kind of Snow Globe, this is as large as to allow a Mumakil inside! (or at least a small one) Staring at it, comes to my mind that poem... “Not all the snow globes shine on Yule, Not all who wander under the snow are lost; Old Claus does not wither through time, Frost does not reach the deep roots." Maybe those weren't the exact words, were they? Merry Creator to everyone!"
#2 - Anguloceyon
Creator’s description:
The Mordor Before Christmas
"'Twas the night before Yuletide and all through the keep King Viznak was trying to put goblins to sleep A platter was set with suspicious sea beast In hopes that a Nazgûl would show up and feast"

Creator’s description:
The Nightmare Before Yule
"A lucky piggy sleeps by a cozy fireplace, surrounded by Yule decorations - but could his strange dreams affect his environment? Does he really understand Yule, or is he too accustomed to the fun of scaring people at Harvestmath?"

Creator’s description:
Run, Fristy, run!
"Run Frosty, run! The snowmen were once happy living in their ice cave, until the corruption toold hold. Now there's just one left, and his time is quickly running out. The exit is iced over, and there's nowhere to go..."

Bilbo and the wardrobe
"It's a dangerous business, going into your wardrobe. You step onto the floorboard, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
