[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Holidays.

They mean different things to different people, of course. For some of us it’s a chance to kick our boots off, lie on the couch (sofa, davenport) in our socks, and watch sports. For others, it means spending hours barefoot in the kitchen crumbling stale cornbread for stuffing to nurture our families. And for still others it means unsolicited alone time, awkward memories, and a break from the internet because who wants to see five thousand pictures of other people’s families pretending to be happy? Whichever way you spend your holidays, thanks for spending this one with us. We’re thankful you’re here.

For this editor, the holidays mean a chance to take a break, let you fill the grids on your own, and give you the opportunity to decide how you did, without our input. It’s your invite to the Grownups’ Table this year. So scroll on down and see how you did. Don’t forget to grab a stale turkey and cranberry sauce on leftover rolls sandwich on your way past the buffet![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Congratulations to this week’s winners! If you earned the highest number of votes in any challenge, you are this week’s crowd favorite. If you came in second or third, you get top row honors along with the crowd fave. Grab your winner’s badge from our sidebar!

Looking for your badge? Now that all our writers are under one roof, we’re sharing our badges as well as our drinks. That’s right: fiction|poetry, nonfiction and microstories have the same badges. It doesn’t clutter up our sidebar, and they’ll still look pretty on yours!

Everybody: before you go, please take some time to leave your favorites a little love in the comments.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Weekend moonshine grid opens today at 6 p.m. eastern time

Dinner isn’t over yet on the moonshine grid. Grab that Tupperware container of leftovers and bring it in for a potluck at our favorite home away from home. Natalie’s pouring hot cider for you, and there are plenty of seats around that big table. Just leave your shopping urges and commercial posts at home and come take a break from Black Friday on the moonshine![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
