The "Game Photography Contest", December 2016 Edition

Thanks to muratogut, RadonGOG, benderz, Ragnarblackmane, Laulajatar, genkicolleen and Vythonaut for the previous contests!

This contest's theme is: Festival / Holiday. Some games have normal well known holiday events like Christmas or Halloween etc but others may have some that are just fictional. Or they just have a festival for unknown reasons. No matter what the reason for it is, I'd like to see screenshots of a festival or a holiday going on.

The rules from the original Game Photography contest by muratogut apply:

Contest: Take a photo from a game, and put it here. [...]

Rules (important):
1- These pictures must look like a real photograph and without the game interface, chat panel or any similar panel.
2- This is not a screenshot contest, so "hey look at my high score" or "phear mai l33t skillz" type of screenshots will not be counted as a photograph.
3- You can use minimal photo editing, like contrast, sharpness, hue, brightness adjustment, but please no photo montages.
4- Suitable photography forms and techniques will be accepted, aerial, architectural, cloudscape, landscape, street, wildlife photography etc... Treat the contest as an art contest, so you don't have to do things like photojournalism, documentary photography.
5- Don't cheat. If you put a picture that doesn't belong to you and this is detected, your picture will be out of contest. Take new pictures for this contest.
The prizes:
* A $9.99 game from gog - random draw
* A $5.99 game from gog - for screenshot I like best

Entries will be closed on 6th January 2017.
Please state clearly if you are in or not.

Brilliant you are keeping these up. Well-chosen theme as well. For this contest, too bad I'm not playing WoW anymore - the winter events were always really fun.
December sure is the month of most GOG traditions, isn't it?

Cheers for doing another one, Moon, +1.

Now to see if I can come up with something fitting.
hey :D
here's my pictures, they're kinda holiday-ish :D

Not in, as usual. Found something that fits, though.
Typical Christmas. Not that I normally get to enjoy the company of penguins.

That's the feeling I've been getting too in the last week or so, stronger even perhaps than last year. I like it.

A bit of a good old days feeling...
Cool idea. I can't remember any game with festival except the opening of FF9 so I'm looking forward to see the entries

Yeah well I like doing them, so I try to hold these contests regularly. Only thing is that it becomes more difficult to find topics :D

We can certainly tell that you like doing them. :-)
As for the latter - it does? Why?

Because I'm bad at finding topics :P

So you can let other people suggest topics :D

You are not, as evidenced by the ones you're already run. But if you feel stuck, why not ask a friend or two for a little help?
For instance, you could probably come up with at least five topics just drawing from the pool of "emotions".
A start
