Description
For our 2007 Christmas card, I decided to do giftart rather than draw our own chars again, so here's 's white reindeer char, Lumi , all decked out for Yule (or "Jul", as we say in Norwegian). I drew him as an adorable little peary caribou (which are often all-white ), because that's what he reminds me of.
(Done in Prisma markers.)

What is the term 'Yule' used for anyhow? Can you explain or define...? I just find it's use interesting, don't quite know what it means.
Anyway, this card is sweet! I scribbled out some of mine -- hand-drawn ones, and sent.

This explains it better than I could: [link] (but the term "Jul" in Norsk seems to be synonymous with the term "Christmas", rather than signifying a separate holiday). Did you post your cards? Would love to see them!

Oh, woah! That is an interesting article. I never knew anything about that word, so hm. Thank-you.
And yes, in Norwegian "jul" equals Christmas. I hear very few (or none) exceptions to that.
Oh and I posted my cards unfortunately... Had to get them across to Canada and the US before it got too late XD; Urgh.
Hand-made them with little Hawkvens on.

OH MY LORDS. Peary Caribou! That is seriously the cutest pair of deer I have ever seen. I love their stubby little faces
I love the colours you used here, especially the Blanket Purple - it looks gorgeous with that warm yellow. This makes me want to draw carousel animals!

The Christmas light border makes me so happy. x3 The smoothness of the markers in the background is impressive!
