In young Fred Savage’s room, there is a Santa Claus art project on the closet door, as well as what appears to be a nutcracker, abe a snowman, and possibly a small lit tree. His grandfather hands him a book wrapped in gold paper. Just like Diehard, the Princess Bride is a secret Christmas movie. 🎄

I came to this competition via @chillsubs.bsky.social and their Contest Calculator. True to the advertising, Foofaraw were crystal clear about their process, down to a spreadsheet detailing where entry money ended up being spent. That alone felt like a win…though winning is very nice, too.
