Description It's already been a tradition to send out my own Christmas cards for a few years now. I started in 2005, so this would be my fourth card. Previous cards featured my characters from Trio Solution and yours truly.

This year, I thought it was about time to go with something a little bit more generic. The obvious choice was Santa Claus, the generic personification of the holiday season. Sure, I could had done something with Jesus or something, but I'm sure that some of the recipients would be kind of weided out, to say at least.

I started out with Santa as a UPS delivery man, but I just couldn't get it right. After a few tries, I decided to try a different angle and thought "instead of making him lame, why not make him awesome". So I did.

If you're in some last-minute need of Christmas cards, this is available as a print.

Ah, tvtropes...I love that place so much. all of my characters seem to experience Crowning Moment of Awesome and/or Moral Even Horizon whenever I write something. Excellent card, I love your artstyle!

Awesome indeed.

I'll let my parents know about this next time they discuss Christmas cards.

"Awesome" is the word that indeed embodies the art. I laughed out loud the second it loaded.

Is it dull? Just add some Rule of Cool.

Thank you, TVtropes, for summing whole genres and conventions is easy-to-remember phrases.

First thing I thought of upon seeing this was an old Calvin and Hobbes gag - when Calvin announces that he's putting out milk and cookies for Santa, his dad quips "I think he'd prefer a cold beer".

Something tells me such a sentiment would likely apply to this particular Santa.

Although I'm not sure if beer is such a good idea when it's freezing out. A thick Cuban cigar may suit this Santa better :]

Yeah, elves can do a lot of handy things, but they just don't have the knack for cigar-rolling. *insert "Seinfeld" reference here*
