Since we last published our Christmas Competition rules we have had a huge influx of entries. The prizes are great (especially since the new iPod Nano now includes a video camera!). This is just a little reminder that there are but a few weeks left to enter. Remember, all lists (regardless of subject) are welcome and there are LOTS of prizes to win. Check the original post for the rules.
If you have any questions about the competition, ask them here.
Just paying the bills...

I just have one request ( a plea rather). Can’t we keep flamehorse, Randall, Blogball et al from submitting their entries in this contest. Won’t it be like letting the sharks loose in a kiddie pool,uh?
November 21st, 2009 at 6:45 am
I want to enter but I have no idea what to make a list about.
November 21st, 2009 at 7:18 am
Yay! No. 5!
November 21st, 2009 at 7:29 am
I want to win and I’m thinking of just making a grocery list.
November 21st, 2009 at 8:48 am

jfrater you cheated us out of a list today…
not cool man… not cool at all… Where am I going to get unknwon facts of the day??
November 21st, 2009 at 9:23 am
at 9
didn’t the more twilight list come out today
November 21st, 2009 at 10:52 am
Ok, here’s one:
There are of course only a limited number of days that competition lists will be published. If a list doesn’t make it into those 10 days, would it get trashed or (assuming quality, of course) just enter the realm of regular publication post-Christmas?
@Gus (9): We have a list that was published today, fear not.
@paulo (2): @kendracoquia (5): @Gus (8): No. We do not do that here. Bad.
November 21st, 2009 at 11:05 am
ianz09: I believe I recall jamie saying in the initial rules announcement that lists that don’t make it into the 10 days of Christmas may still be used at a later time, they just won’t win anything.
November 21st, 2009 at 11:09 am
@Spiff17 (12): Hmmm don’t recall that, but you’re probably right.
November 21st, 2009 at 11:13 am
@Spiff17 (12): Yeah I just read through the first post again. You’re right.
November 21st, 2009 at 11:17 am
I must have missed it… So I retract the feeling of being cheated…
By the way just say all the twighlight shows are not to be missed… Another question a Christmas themed list would it look better than a non christmas themed one?
November 21st, 2009 at 11:24 am
Like others, I will not be entering either. But I am looking forward to some really fine lists.
Good luck, everyone.
November 21st, 2009 at 12:21 pm
@Gus (15): No, JFrater said your chances won’t be increased by submitting a Christmas list. As a matter of fact, you may get the edge with a bizarre list, but really it just comes down to quality and entertainment value. No specific theme required
November 21st, 2009 at 4:31 pm
@H3000 (6): Y’know, there may just be a way to make that work…maybe a list of “Stuff you should always stock in your kitchen” or something? If you submit that list & win, I want some kind of credit!
November 21st, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Goddamn it, the last three lists are really boring and self repeating.. Even the ones before that aren’t really interesting and diverse.. We need lists(I would have underlined the word “lists” if I could) ! Cmon guys you can do better !
November 21st, 2009 at 7:21 pm
I am too lazy to submit a list. Could someone maybe make a top ten list of crappy religous prohibitions?? For example: 1-No alcohol. Many religions prohibit this. If yours does, it sucks. 2-No cow eating. WTF???? No more MCDonald’s or flame broiled ribs? Your religion sucks. 3-No pork. Seriously????? Bacon is quite obviously the food of the Gods. Your religion sucks. See??? It would be fun for the holiday season. Oh wait, I forgot one 4- No gay marriage. Why the fuck not? They’re so great they shouldn’t have to suffer? Like heteros are any good at marraige anyways.What a crock of shit. Your religion sucks.
Seriously, someone please make this list.
November 21st, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Heh you should see MY List
and lesee whens the Deadline for it again.. EST that is
November 21st, 2009 at 7:58 pm
The next sickophantic suck-up on Listverse will do a Lecter : “What? You don’t eat human meat?! WTF! Your religion sucks!
November 21st, 2009 at 8:09 pm
@El the Erf: I like your idea, but seriously, it is not well written enough for Listverse. Too many exclamation marks and stupid abbreviations. Honestly, that is just a shitty example of writing.
November 21st, 2009 at 8:25 pm
@atheists eat fish (23): “Honestly, that is just a shitty example of writing”. Blowing your own trumpet, eh?
November 21st, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Hmmm, Top ten reasons why Christians think the pagan holiday they call Christmas has got anything to do with the birth of Jesus.
November 21st, 2009 at 9:00 pm
How about Top 10 reasons why Atheists and Theists should just agree to live and let live and stop trashing the other’s religious beliefs?
November 21st, 2009 at 9:08 pm
@Chris-UMMM, I don’t think atheists have religious beliefs. So go ahead and trash mine. Good luck. Anyway, religious people are always telling others what to do and think so they make themselves a target. Also, I am in a bad mood. Just FYI. And the reason for my bad is directly related to my list. So pftttttttttttt (sp?). I am attempting to raise the level of discourse on listverse today, obviously. Don’t be intimidated.
November 21st, 2009 at 9:18 pm
haha you losers actually left comments without a list? haha you fools you… o wait what i have done? noooooooooo
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:03 am
@atheists eat fish (20): “Ten Wonderful Things Prohibited By Some Religions” might have a better chance of being published then “Ten Crappy Religious Prohibitions That Prove Your Religion Sucks”
Anyway, here are a few more items for your list: shell fish, birds with webbed feet (like duck), fish without scales (like catfish), sex outside of marriage, pornography, swearing when you stub your toe, coffee, tobacco, and tattoos.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:11 am
@Shifty-You make a good point. However, my title more accurately reflects my current mood. I do, however, agree with you proposals for additions to the list. Thanks

Sir jfrater i’m planning to join this contest and i’m from the Philippines.
I have some questions because my understanding of things here might be different from there.
Would it be ok if i type my list in Microsoft Word, attach it in my email and send it to jfrater@listverse.com?
I’m using yahoo mail, would that be fine?
I’m not that much of a computer person. I apologize for my ignorance.
Thanks.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
@chingpower (31): I submitted my list for the competition through MY e-mail account.
I did exactly as you have outlined…Composed my list in MS Word, then inserted into my e-mail form and sent to jfrater@listverse.com. I used “Christmas Competition” as my subject title in the proper field.
I also sent a second message asking for verification of receipt and that it had been accepted as a competition submission.
He responded “yes” and “yes”.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:24 pm
@chingpower (31): I will add that I submitted through this method ONLY because my computer would not allow my list to be sent through the link/form that Jamie has supplied in the original competition page.
I would try to use his competition link first.
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:12 am
You know, I was really excited about the prospect of writing a list for this contest until I realized that all of my trival knowledge….came from this website. =/
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:24 am
@deeeziner (33):
hey! thanks for that.
i’m sort of relieved.
i’ll just do exactly what you have done.
i’m refining my list now.
thanks.
