I do miss BYTE, odd to remember a time in which you actually enjoyed the adverts as much as the content, something you could not achieve today as easily.
Hah! My one claim to computing fame is that I submitted a game - a Frogger clone - to Amiga Format and it won Reader Game of the Month (and £50) in the Christmas 1999 Issue[1].
Sadly the magazine cover was distinctly un-christmassy - not a single elf or sleigh in sight - thus not good enough to be included in any list of classic Christmas covers.
