It's the most cheerful time of year! Because...

- Christmas will soon be here!





Don't Bah, Humbug me, you guyz.

In the words of the most loveable Christmas-hater ever...

"Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas... perhaps...
means a little bit more."


- How the Grinch Stole Christmas








It's 46 DAYS till Christmas.

I wanted to start this contest as soon as possible to give everyone PLENTY of time
to compete and think about their entries. I ALWAYS go all out for
Halloween... and never for Christmas. Which is another fabulous holiday.
That's why this year I decided to host...

How DA Stole Christmas





This contest is all about the best part of this beautiful holiday:

GIVING!




For this contest I want you create, in your chosen art form, a Christmas Present for another deviant. :dummy: It doesn't matter who you choose, what you draw, write, photograph, animate, etc. I want you to present your gift to another deviant before the end of December. Make them feel special! This is the season of giving, folks!
And I want you to give it all you've got. :huggle:

SO PAY ATTENTION. :stare:

I wonder if the winners will be announced this year? :o I doubt that the work I submitted last year would win, but I am still curious to see everyone else's entries. :)
