# Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! #
# It doesn't show signs of stopping, And I brought some corn for popping; The lights are turned way down low, Let it snow, let it snow! #

In 3rd Place Bronze position Limeyfox for the brilliant idea of combining screenshots with a classic Christmas Lyric, my favourite was this one:- On the 2nd place Silver podium is Blazin for this wonderful classic Aerotrain capture.
