Send Us Photos of Your Christmas Morning

Here's the deal: We want to see Bolingbrook's best Christmas morning photos!

Kids opening gifts, parents struggling with way-to-complicated assemble-yourself instructions or even your pets enjoying the holiday season! We want to see it all!

And to move that process along, we're willing to give you a Christmas present ourselves!

Submit your photos by clicking on the "Submit photos" button right above the photo of this article and we'll enter it into a random drawing for a $25 gift card to a  restaurant of the winner's choice. Ten others will win some sort of Patch swag (items include 24 oz. stainless steel water bottle; Patch canvas tote bag; or a 100-sheet Patch steno notepad).

Ah, but there's a catch: Once your photo is posted, we need you to leave a comment or message at the bottom of the story that identifies your photo and sets it apart from the others. 

Remember, if you don't leave a message or comment, we won't be able to enter you in the contest.

We'll choose the winner on Dec. 26 at noon and post the winning photo shortly thereafter. For the calendar challenged, that would be Monday, Dec. 26.

If you're the winner, we'll send you a personal e-mail and make arrangements to get you the prize.

The deadline to enter is noon on Dec. 26.

To reiterate the instructions:

1. Upload a photo of your Christmas morning.
2. When you see it posted, leave a comment at the bottom of the story identifying your photo.
3. Sit back and keep your fingers crossed that I'll be sending you a message about being the winner.
