Vote for this year’s holiday card!

I spent part of this weekend working on my holiday card for this year. I made chocolate ribbons, boxes, and bows! and then my good friend and creative partner Lieven came over and did a photo shoot for me. We wound up with three excellent candidates for this year’s holiday card. I can’t decide between them, so I’m putting it up to a reader vote! Leave a comment voting for your favorite photo, and I’ll use the winner as my holiday card for this year.

Here’s #1, red bow and green ribbon on white chocolate:

white-chocolate-box-with-red-bow-and-green-ribbon
white-chocolate-box-with-red-bow-and-green-ribbon

#2: white and  dark chocolate:

white chocolate box, dark chocolate bow and ribbon
white chocolate box, dark chocolate bow and ribbon

And, finally, white chocolate box, dark chocolate bow, red ribbon:

white chocolate box, dark chocolate bow, red ribbon
white chocolate box, dark chocolate bow, red ribbon

Which one should I use? Leave your answer in the comments, below.

    I like number 1!! The white, red and green form a lovely contrast

  6. Eileen J. Crawford says

    October 26, 2016 at 7:08 am

    Number one is cheerful!

  7. Jolly says

    October 26, 2016 at 7:28 am

    #1 is perfect artistically and seasonally — I’d leave the chocolate for the surprise inside!

  8. MarMar says

    October 26, 2016 at 7:39 am

    Number 1. Hands down. The red and green and creamy chocolate together are excellent.

  9. Brucie Connell says

    October 26, 2016 at 8:06 am

    #1

  10. Ann S. says

    October 26, 2016 at 8:17 am

    Definitely #1 – I think it’s the close-up shot that’s winning it, as opposed to the whole box shots.

  11. phillippa lack says

    October 26, 2016 at 8:30 am

    No. 1 gets my vote. not is the most ‘christmasy’ one of all!

  12. Ro Spinelli says

    October 26, 2016 at 8:40 am

    #1

  13. laurie says

    white box with red ribbon and brown bow

  14. wanda milwee says

    I love #2 because it is elegant. But I’d still be thrilled to receive #1, or 3.

  15. Sharon Alderman says

    October 26, 2016 at 10:46 am

    I vote for 2 because it is more obviously chocolate. But on sheer good looks, I’d vote for #1.

  16. Michelle Rudy says

    October 26, 2016 at 10:58 am

    #1. It dominates the space. Is cheerful. Reflects the season and your good wishes.

    #2 is more sophisticated. Not as friendly.
    #3 is homey, a bit ordinary.

  17. Ria says

    October 26, 2016 at 1:16 pm

    No.1

  18. Henny says

    October 26, 2016 at 1:17 pm

    No. 1

  19. Janet S. Colville says

    October 26, 2016 at 1:23 pm

    #3, white chocolate with dark chocolate bow, red ribbon

  20. Marla says

    October 26, 2016 at 1:34 pm

    I prefer #3, but the crowd seems christmasy, so #1 definitely fits that.

      Arleen Wetmore votes for #1 Beautiful colors

  21. Mary says

    #1

  22. Marion says

    October 26, 2016 at 4:49 pm

    I would choose the white chocolate box with red bow and green ribbon. It looks most abundant and cheerful. Others are nice but very “formal”

    • Diane says

      October 26, 2016 at 5:22 pm

      #1 – exuberant, can read the words, love the colors, and makes me happy to see the image.

  23. Judi says

    October 26, 2016 at 4:55 pm

    I like the red and green on white chocolate. It is very cheery. Red is my favorite color and the green looks like the evergreen trees where I live

  24. Carmen says

    October 26, 2016 at 8:17 pm

    #1

  25. kherbaugh says

    October 27, 2016 at 5:27 am

    I love #1, red bow and green ribbon on white chocolate.

  26. Christina Broderson says

    October 27, 2016 at 5:28 am

    I like #1.

  27. Becky says

    October 27, 2016 at 6:31 am

    I like #1 the best. Nothing says “Christmas” like the colors of red and green.

  28. Denise Kovnat says

    October 27, 2016 at 6:38 am

    Tien, I vote for #1. Can’t believe it’s chocolate!

  29. Martha says

    October 27, 2016 at 12:14 pm

    I like them all, but number one wins by looking the most edible and Christmas like of the three choices. Well done Tien.

  30. Jaia says

    October 27, 2016 at 3:30 pm

    I vote for contestant number 3!
