Animals Dressed for the Holidays – This is the category for all the cute animal softies. Dress them in their holiday best! You can also enter softies made with holiday-ish fabric. (doesn’t have to be red and green or have snowflakes, but could be festive or sparkly)

Doll Dress Up – like the category above but just doll softies dressed for the holidays

Under the Tree – Toy softies that aren’t animals or dolls. If you make a reindeer pulling a sled, put it here. If you make a reindeer with a holiday vest, put it in the Animals Dressed for the Holidays category.

Holiday Smorgasbord - softie holiday food: gingerbread, fruitcake, milk & cookies, turkey dinner, mashed potatoes, ham, Hanukkah gelt, latkes, etc.

The Nightmare Before Christmas - creepy/cute for the holidays – Halloween and Christmas

Let it Snow! - white softies only ie snowflake, polar bears, an all-white Santa. Softies must be at least 75% white. That means you can use other colors for trim, eyes, the inside of an oyster etc.

The Worst Gift I Ever Got! - Have fun with this one. Please include a note on this softie’s flickr page to tell us a little about this horrible gift!

Holiday Version of My Softie Book Softie – make any softie from Softies and dress it up, or otherwise make it holiday-ish!
