Hi everyone,

We were originally going to have first, second, and third places, but since we received four stories, we added a fourth place so that all of the authors would receive a prize. We're so happy with how this contest turned out and we love all of the entries! Thank you to the writers for sharing your stories with us and the readers for taking the time to post your feedback. Here's how the stories ranked based on our opinions and reader comments:

1st place: Who Needs Mistletoe? by Lucie Simone - $50 Amazon gift card
2nd place: Love and Christmas Cookies by Cindy Arora - $25 Amazon gift card
3rd place: Christmas Angel by Karoline Barrett - $15 Amazon gift card
4th place: Kissing at Midnight by Sarah Tillitt - $10 Amazon gift card

Congratulations! You all did a fantastic job! You'll receive your prizes via email.

Happy holidays! :)
