We're back with the rest of the best of 2023. Originally I had nominations closing on the 17th and voting closing on the 24th but I think most of us should manage to fit this one in the usual week. I'm just going to play it by ear.

The next FIVE themes are:

* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 2 - dates may still vary
Up on Dec 25, nominations close Jan 1; voting closes Jan 7
I've allowed one week for nominations and another week for voting just because the Festive Season can get busy.
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 3 (finishes Sunday January 14)
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 4 (finishes Sunday January 21)
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 5 (finishes Sunday January 28)
Theme 405 - Chinese Zodiac - songs titles or artists that contain one (or more) of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac: Rat, Dragon, Monkey, Ox, Snake, Rooster, Tiger, Horse, Dog, Rabbit, Goat and Pig - Helen

New themes still welcome at:

I thought this was heading for multiple place-getters but luckily it has all sorted itself out. Once again The Beatles take out the top spot with 18 votes - well done Tim! Just one vote behind is TheFoe's nomination of Pale Blue Eyes. And in third spot it's Helen with Hey Colossus on 14 votes. Congrats to the winners - and no wooden spoons!
