It's Christmas Eve!

It is the time of sharing and giving, so let's get right to it then.

No wonder it's been such a busy week!
We had a record number of entries again.

🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁

_{the images link to their posts... please give them an upvote, too ;)}

🥉 Today's 3rd winner is: 🥉

@photoquest with
"Googly Santa Knife"

It's not particularly festive or elaborate, but the simplicity is striking in this one. And after all, that's how #GooglyEyes should work, no gimmicks, just imagination!

🥈 The 2nd winner is: 🥈

@melodyrussell with
"little corkscrew man"

Equal in simplicity but on top of that, look at the presentation in this one! The Christmas lights with the perfect bokeh of a nifty-fifty is just too good. A solid 2nd place is for these photographic qualities!

🥇 And Our Grand Winner is: 🥇

@marzi with
"Hydrant Christmas"

Yessss... that's the one! @marzi introduced us to this hydrant, dressed for the season. And this one is outside in a public space, where #GooglyEyes can meet their destination and bring smiles to unsuspecting strangers. Kudos!

aaaaand

_{another drumroll, please}

🥁 this week's Googly-Delegation-Winner is: 🥁

@marzi

you'll receive the #GooglyPrize delegation of 99.437 SP for a week.

_{For once, it's straight forward today. @marzi scored 1st place, has the lowest self-voting quota out of our three winners and and isn't already rich in Voting Power either. All checks passed. Enjoy!}
