I love #1, St. Lucia in Kansas! And my least favorite is #5, the indoor tree -- it's an image that we've all seen so many times on Christmas issues and the background is a bit too sparse. Oh, and the words 'Lip Love' on that cover are very distracting to me, for some reason. (And I don't see those words on the other covers?)

Aren't I just full of opinions tonight?!

I favor #1 also with #2 a close second. Until I read the caption, I thought #2 was a posh sports shoe. So, I think #1 is my true favorite.

Number ONE.
# 2 comes in close second.

The last three just look a bit boring, like any Christmas magazine cover from the past 20 years.

#2, Farmgirl Ice skate does it for me.
I agree that #4 and #5 do not stand out from all the other Christmas magazine issues on the stands

Take care, Melissa.

I like number one and three, and my graphic designer friend who is visiting likes numbers one and five! All of them are beautiful Carol! You ladies (and Gabe) are doing an amazing job!

I love #1 and #2 is a close second. I agree that the last two are not as unique as the first few...Just love that first one!!

#1. I think it is really eye-catching and different from other holiday magazines.

# 1 for me - small town feel, people cover, Live to Give (stands out which I love in a season where the hustle and bustle can get us distracted from giving from the heart)

#2 is second because the skate w/rose is so MaryJane

God bless -

P.S. And thanks so much allowing us to be involved in the process. It's going to be so much fun to see the next magazine come out and think "I picked that cover" - I hope!!!

They are all beautiful! But if I had to choose, I would go with either one or two. I love people covers, but the ice skate is so warm and wintery looking and I think that it is such a great idea to decorate them. I have an old pair and I think that is what I am going to do with them. Thanks so much for letting us see them in advance and you really cannot go wrong no matter which one you choose as I know for sure that what is inside will be wonderful.

I vote for #2. TO me all the others look like every other type of magazine you would see on the stands.
