Hi there!
Cool, I didn't expect Scr00g Mcduc to win anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's one of my favorites.
dude
Nobody likes a winner anyway!!!! HAHAHA!
I'm so happy to be me I guess... ;)
This winter flash off was really good. I liked Christmas Pill and Frost'D the best. But I seriously should watch them all.
I also liked
-
Unpublished Submission
and I thought this was not about christmas at all
this could have been better, I liked it overall though.
Happy new year!

I didn't have anyone specific in mind - people bitch after every contest winner announcement.

Years from now, Little Aviator will still stand on its own as a timeless piece, independent of the holidays or time period. It's a disappointment not to win today, but in the long-term I think you'll be glad you made what you made.
The contests are becoming increasingly difficult because the results tend to haunt me for the long-term. For example, Halloween 2007... Blockhead Ghostmas was a great submission, an original character and a lot of effort, and it won the audience vote that year. It's still a great movie, but over time, I feel like Spooky Scary Skeletons is the submission that best defined that year, and it took fourth.
But another movie that didn't take first was also amazing and continues to hold up today:
I just have to remind myself that the contests are motivation for people to give themselves a deadline and create something competitive, and they will get to carry that creation with them for the rest of their lives, with or without proper acknowledgment from NG.
Eyyy, congrats to all the lucky ones!!!
Thanks for the free holiday-entertainment all of you artists, and Newgrounds for hosting it, of course!

Wakka wakka

Prooving difference between being good (and hyped) and being talented..
I have to write stuff now or else it won't let me post the message. So, one day, I woke up facing my life, and I realized I was a junk full of decrepitude and weakness. Garbage day =D

Never thought about it like that. Thanks Tom. Although, i feel bad now that this stuff haunts you
At your service
Oh man, I really didn't liked Last minute shopper.
The writing made me angry.
BUT IT'S ALL OKAY NOW!
CONGRATS!
So, Tom, you're missing the last two out of the top ten.
In your spot for 6-10, you only have 6-8
Might wanna let us know who else won :P
On another note, I would disagree with the top two picks :\
I wasn't a fan of Snowbot or Eddsworld.

fuck yeah man
Justice has been served Gonzo!
told you so!

I personally think the last shopper should have gotten number 1.
But good job everyone anyways.
I'm glad I got my calendar :3

I don't laugh at the jokes in most Eddworld movies either but I really like how they've created their own original comedy series here on Newgrounds with original characters. That's not an easy thing to pull off. So I appreciate that tremendously and five their movies every time for that reason. What I don't think is right is the same movie winning a monthly and a holiday contest but that's just me.
XBL Gamertag: Aeonstarz
Personally, I think this would've been worth at least a mention.
dude
Aww man, nothing for me? :'(
Grats to the winners!
Maybe next conest ;)

aw.. RWD's Silent Night should have gotten some kind of an award, its current score is so unfair because of religious prejud-er-preference.
Lots of great winning entries and congratulations to the winners

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH
that movie deserved 1st
Good job to the winners. But I must say, "Frank Jones" is sorely underrated! It's one of the best concepts that I've seen on Newgrounds this Christmas season, and with a great song:
I didn't win an award, but I'm still happy that so many people saw and liked my submission. I wouldn't have gotten this much feedback anywhere else.
Kudos to everyone who participated!
The number and quality of submissions this year was great.
I wish Luis would have made that fighting santa claus game tho.
Naughty should had at least gotten a mention... but Naaaaaaah lets give eddsworld 1250 bucks not to mention 1000 more for the halloween contest ;D
End of bitching
excuse the noob feeling here but what does IMHO mean?

"In my honest opinion". Try a Google search next time you need to define an acronym, though.
Alrighty I shuffled up the top two next in line as #9 and #10 in the winnings - they also score cash and store credit!
Man, Santa's Preaching should've won something.
Good animaitons everyone!
Zanta Claws, Santas Last Stop were my favorites.
but I haven't seen ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of them. A decent amount. I only seen an amount good enough for a busy person. heeheheh
Thanks Tom for throwing this cool event! smart move!
I hope your day will be as bright as the sun!

NO YOU SHUT UP AND EAT OUR COMPLIMENTS or something. I liked it too i think it definitely deserved a good post ;D
STAFFIMATION sounds like Staph infection, STOP IT TOM.
