As some of you know, I'm a teacher. Our building is doing a contest that involves decorating our classroom doors in some holiday fashion.
Many of you are artistically inclined and I'm not. I need a winning idea that I can decorate my door with.
The winner of the contest gets $25 in gasoline, dinner, and a Wal-mart gift card (don't know the amount).

Any ideas?

For what it's worth, my door has an off-denter window in it.

Have Santa Claus looking sneakily out from the bottom of the window.

Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

I remember my class had a contest like that in the 7th grade. We won because we put so much random stuff on the door. I guess we looked like we put alot of effort.

What grade is this?

8th grade (13 to 14 yr olds for you non-US massassians).

However, it's between the teachers, not the students.

All the ideas I have are the usual lame ones - a door to santa's house, gingerbread door (with christmassy colors), put a paper christmas tree on the door, etc. :-P

That's why I asked here. I figure surely there's enough creative brain-power here to get me going in the right direction.

Wire something up with blinking red and green LEDs. That's always a hit at Christmastime.

My wife gave me a great idea:

Make a snowman vader that says "May the Frost be with you."

Now just to visualize it...

You should wire it up to exactly mimic the christmas lights from that crazy house that was posted here recently.

"Mmmm...that is a tasy eggnog! Hey Vincent, have you ever had eggnog?"

Haha, I guess that could work.

Very funny Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.

The teachers in the surrounding rooms beat me to it. I showed up for work, and this was on my door.

Well, the contest ended, and I got 2nd place. I think it was because the main lady that was in charge didn't like Star Wars, but all of the kids that voted did. Either way, it's not a big deal.
For 2nd place, I won a bag of chocolate and a $5 gift card to Wal-Mart. Woo. :|

Well, here are some pics of my door (I also quickly -and poorly- converted the Grinch into Yoda) and the resulting Massassi Christmas logo:

That's awesome. If I had been in charge, you would have won.
