THE RULES:

Taking the suggestion from

analievelyn, for the next day or so, this post will be lockedT, so no it is not an error that you cannot comment. This is to allow for people to review posts, comments, and threads and maybe keep notes as in previous years one person's initial comment/nominations would often result in the highest votes. This method is to allow variation in nominations. The post will be unlocked December 23rd at 11 AM ET to allow for nominations to be typed AFTER I type in all categories in the post - which when completed, will be reflected in the post.

If you comment or nominate before I am completed, you will be subject to a two week ban. This post does not serve as a Roundup or an FFA. When a user comments their nomination, reply and add +1, please do not use the LJ react emojis as they will not be counted.

The post will be lockedT again on December 29th at 10 PM ET to allow for OP to complete counting.
