Joys of a country Christmas

Christmas trees, wreaths, mouthwatering food, homemade decorations, frosty gardens, winter walks and Christmas markets – this month we want your photos that capture the essence of a country Christmas.

To enter, simply upload your photos and vote for the ones you like best. The winning image, as voted for by you, will feature in the Countryfile Magazine newsletter.

The editor's choice is final and correspondence will not be entered into.

The final date for submissions is 1 January 2012.

The final date for voting is 7 January 2012.

Don't forget that although you can only upload your images for a month, you can still vote for another week after that and encourage your friends to vote. All votes submitted by the final deadline will count.
