The five schools that receive the most votes will progress to the grand final at Gretna Gateway on Sunday December 6, where the winning school will scoop £500 and a special Xmas Factor trophy and the four runners-up will each receive £50.
And the ten schools in contention are Amisfield Primary (Away in a Manger), Eastriggs Primary (We Three Kings), Hoddom Primary (Silent Night), Hottsbridge Primary (I Saw Three Ships), Lockerbie Primary (Ding Dong Merrily on High), St Mungo Primary (The First Noel), Tundergarth Primary (We Three Kings), Kirkcudbright Primary (Silent Night), Johnstonebridge Primary (We Three Kings) and Wallace Hall Primary (Away in a Manger).
