Don't be hasty, dear Elleth
The staff shall first identify which Ent is in charge of the shepherding of Christmas trees. Afterwards a winner will be named.

In very rapid order (only four days now since the Festival's end), we shepherds of the Yule Trees have made a hasty determination of contest placement:
3rd Place .... Midge! Quote:

We Ents shall now reconvene in order to determine the matter of a 'prize'... shouldn't be but a few more weeks.

But, but, but, they all look so CONVENTIOANALLY tree-ish. What's up with that?
I think the ents are being species-ist. Tree shepherds?! Bah! Humbug! They are promoting artificial constructs that emphasize the culturally acceptable norm rather than celebrating the diversity of expression which is truly epigenetic in REAL life experience. What would Andy Warhol think? What about Saruman? What about Gollum? The Orcs? The really bad dude whose name I forget? Where is the representation of the peoples and entities of Middle Earth? Ents only as judges? Humbug. bah! winners. If you want to support a regime of mindless tree-centeredness. NON-trees of the world, UNITE! All you have to lose is wood!

Oh thanks! Thank you Tolkien!
Inked-mine was both conventional and unconventional. Its shape was the culturally accepted shape, but it was made of words! And no other tree is made of words!

Oohh! I've never won a tree-making contest before, even if I did just get third!
YAY ME!
