Since the wiki is pretty raw in activity lately, and we don't see many new pastas here, I've decided:

The Christmas Pasta Contest (since we missed Halloween)!

Here is the basic premise:

You write a creepypasta focused around the Holidays (any one; Kwanza, Hannuka, Christmas, any). Make it good, so it passes Quality Standards. Try to evade Christmas cliches (such as "Santa Claws" or anything like that. Seriously, that is getting old.)

Categorize it. Uncategorized articles will not be accepted and will be disqualified.

Put the link to the pasta on my talk page, or another admin's if they're willing, and the admins will put it into a poll on a due date. The pasta with the most votes wins.

Rules: Tips:
 * 1) It must be up to par with Quality Standards.
 * 2) It must revolve around a "Christmas" Holiday.
 * 3) It cannot be a troll pasta or a humor article.
 * 4) It must be a full page long at least.
 * 5) Fictitious holidays (such as Hearth's Warming Eve) are allowed, as long as they're heard of.
 * 6) Any form of cliche (hyper-realistic blood, zalgofied eyes, etc.) will immediately disqualify the entry.
 * 1) Make it eccentric. Make it weird. Make it original.
 * 2) Make an urban legend up if nothing else, like something that happened on Christmas or how Kwanza didn't come to be the way people said it did.
 * 3) Whatever happened to the pasta that just blew your head off? *BOOM* See? Classic.
