It is not often I see your photos any more, but I can see that the quality has not changed. It is really a good idea to put out some decorations. Much easier than editing them into the photo afterwards.
This is a lovely little bird holding a seed in its beak, and as usual the focus is spot on. Leaving behind a sharp photo with clear and well defined details. The background is nicely blurred, and both the red Christmas ball and the bird are standing out in the most excellent way. It is also very good and natural colors in this photo.
The bird is well placed within the frame and the cropping is neat. This makes for a very nice composition. Excellent DOFF as well. I wish you luck with the contest.

Great capture of this Christmas time Tufted Titmouse. Beautiful focus with exceptional lighting to show his tremendous markings and detail. Their color is remarkable as well. I also think I see his reflection in the ornament.

What a clever idea! Looks like he lives inside your house and sat on your xmas tree. Very nice sharp focus on the little guy. I never see these birds... where do you live?

Awe, this is a great shot.
The Titmouse looks very good against the vibrant red of the ornament. Nice composition. Great color tones. Focus and clarity are both strong.

Oh, how cute! Pretty little bird. Not very brightly coloured but I find that little crest on top of his head charming. Like the way you managed to capture the bird with a seed in his beak. The red christmas ball decoration adds to the charm of the image since the bird's reflection can be seen it in. Also adds some bright colour. Your framing is very good as is focus. Nicely blurred background too. Good Luck in the contest.

Beautiful capture of a delightful little bird. Nice catchlight in the eye and detail in the feathers. I like the position of the red Christmas ball against the blue of the bird and the greenery at the top seems to frame the image. I also like the DOF you achieved here.

Willie, wishing you and your family the best in 2013 and what an award winning shot you give us reviewers to enjoy. What is there NOT to like about this?
Not only is it full of that "awww" feeling it's also full of "oh wow" and so festive. How did you get that Tufted Titmouse to pose for you...ah ha, I see you bribed it with that seed? It's truly a splendid shot.
What also is touching is that you have connected us viewers with the soul of this beautiful little bird, you have caught her/him looking directly at your lens and hence at us, and it can't get more perfect that that.
Technically you are quite the master of your camera, always have been since I've know your images. This image is beautifully contrasted, perfectly sharp, point of view is delightful with that Xmas ornament in the background which gives great weight of story. I know Hallmark would buy this up in a heartbeat and use it for their Xmas cards.
I am trying to give you some constructive criticism but am at a loss. From the compositional beauty to the technical strength this is a stellar upload.
