Sooo...do we want to do a 5k Contest for December, or do we want to wait until the middle of January when the holiday season is over? I know everyone's really busy at year end. Either way, please leave theme and optional prompt suggestions along with whether you want to do the next contest in December or January. Or maybe I should put up a vote on this page.

A theme could be ‘storm’, either literal or metaphorical. And I assume it’ll probably be in January now?

Yeah. Participation has been down, so I decided to let things go for the holidays so people could focus on family stuff with only the Secret Santa thing going on. I’ll boot things back up in January.
