Description This is for all my Deviants, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I don't think you need to be catholic to celebrate what Christmas is about. To me, this season is about peace, about understanding, about tolerance, friends and family, its the one time of year that the world can be a rest. I am not a religious person by any means, but I still love this time of year. I feel light, and I still hold onto the hope that people will put aside all difference and join in the common goal of just being happy. Be happy this Holiday.

All hail to the days that merit more praise
Than all the rest of the year
And welcome the nights that double delights
As well for the poor as the peer!
Good fortune attend each merry man's friend
That doth but the best that he may
Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songs
To drive the cold winter away.

Tis ill for a mind to anger inclined
To think of small injuries now
If wrath be to seek, do not lend her your cheek
Nor let her inhabit thy brow
Cross out of thy books malevolent looks
Both beauty and youth's decay
And wholly consort with mirth and sport
To drive the cold winter away.

This time of the year is spent in good cheer
And neighbours together do meet
To sit by the fire, with friendly desire
Each other in love to greet
Old grudges forgot are put in the pot
All sorrows aside they lay
The old and the young doth carol this song
To drive the cold winter away.

When Christmas' tide comes in like a bride
With holly and ivy clad
Twelve days in the year much mirth and good cheer
In every household is had
The country guise is then to devise
Some gambols of Christmas play
Whereat the young men do the best that they can
To drive the cold winter away.

In Praise Of Christmas(c)Loreena McKennitt

I really like the design you took for this picture; and, I hope you will not mind, for it's all good - but it's probably because of the ears and horns, but the maid looks like She-Ra.

NebetSeta In reply to PinkPigtails [2008-12-26 05:21:41 +0000 UTC]

She Ra is He Man's twin sister. An '80s cartoon heroine. All's good with the comparison. Also, you're welcome!

yes...I don't like doing anthro's at all, but I didnt want to make her a fairy either. I dont really like this one very much...Im not a furry fan

F1yMordecai In reply to PinkPigtails [2008-12-12 22:42:22 +0000 UTC]

yeah I'm not much into antro..but it was a good alternative to a fairy in this case.
