*** December 2018 VOTING: Remember December ***

[Diamond]

First of all, biiiiiig thanks to my fellow CLs who kept things rolling here during my absence. Y'all are wonderful.

This month's challenge was sort of a catch-all - what does December mean to you? And we had some great entries - here are the thumbnail pics for reference before you vote:

Here's some chilly maps!

Voting starts now and will last until Friday afternoon around this time. The winner will receive the very last Golden Compass of 2018, a hug from a Yeti, and free tickets to Santa's new Broadway play "You Better Be Nice, Goddammit!" Good luck!

Nice work, everyone. Some gorgeous maps this month.

I felt, given the number of entries, that I should really only vote for one, but it was too hard and I ended up voting for two. Even that was quite difficult....!

Hi guys!
I'm not as present than I'd like to but it's always a pleasure to watch your maps and threads
I voted for 2 but my heart goes to Misty's map.
Good luck to all of you!

Like my fellow Gaul above (salut Robin !) I'm a bit of a ghost these days but I lurk a lot and it was nice seing those develop but heck, Beee has blown my head again ! And welcome back D.

Some great maps this month - well done to all - it was good fun.

I have voted - for two maps. As a rule I don't normally vote for more than a quarter of the entries, but I had to this month.

Misty's Polar Map was exceptional, especially given the short time period in which it was created. I love all the little characters marching around the lines of latitude. Also, Misty, your mountains are superb!

Aeshnidae's map of Vorosmarty ter was just so appropriate for the time of year - I love the chilly, but warm feeling that it gives you!

Sorry to both of you, apparently I have to spread some more rep around before I can rep you both again!

[MapMappingMapped]

Awesome work! Rep coming up.

[Diamond]

Oh, just a note: the poll close around 1PM Pacific tomorrow, but I won't be able to hand out the Compass and start the January challenge until I get home tomorrow night.

[aeshnidae]

Gah! I can't believe I missed the voting!

Congrats, MistyBeee! And Tonquani, I loved your entry.

[Diamond]

Congrats to Misty for another cha-ching!!

[MistyBeee]

So lucky to get such a great start for the new year, guys ! Thanks a lot, dear fellows !!
And a special hug to Aesnidae and Tonquani : there's so much love in your maps, and it was a pleasure to see them progressing all along December
