Since the holiday season is upon us and I have been fortunate enough to be staked in the past, I am offering 4 $2.20 stakes. It's not much but it's time I give back again and the fact that I am running like crap today.

In order to qualify for this stake, you must post a pic of holiday decorations that are out of the ordinary. Whether it is a house or a hotty, it must be decorated for the holdiay.

I am heading outside to begin decorating the house and will check back in about an hour to offer up these stakes.

After stakeage, please post tournament ID you are playing. 50/50 split on winnings.

Winners
#1 - DaddyP (viconnor) - sfobv
#2 - Poker4dummies (8inchesplus) - nice pics
#3 - that1chic - that's what I like about Christmas, everyone gets a piece.
#4 - amymarie1967 (screwychick) - not sure about the pic but I chose you because you are from Columbus and I am an OSU fan. GO BUCKS!!

Money Shipped...GL

One of these days I hope I open one of these threads and see a recipe for an awsome steak.

... some day.

This is the actual Christmas card my son (then 20!!) sent out to his friends. I was shocked.

<SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1227655835_1>Andreyluis was pushing any three cards, bullying the table. Knew I had a good draw to push with considering my stack. 33/96 16 pay.

Will ship back the money this weekend, after my deposit clears.
