Okay, who's going to put a Santa hat on Falco? Or better yet, reindeer antlers? My art skills are realllly bad.

Falco was incredibly influential and genius. He deserves better than THAT (okay, okay, I suspect he would've loved it).

Do I go with this or Santa-behatted KMFDM founder Sascha Konietzko (who would likely be less than amused by my paint job--but is still alive)?

Hey, I worked hard on that!

It's cute, and I think Hans would have liked it.

I keep thinking your's is from "the red tide" of drunken santas the cacophony group had in the summer here.

You people are tempting me to put a santa hat on this nice wave, thankfully I am a big

If someone can make me two menorahs which look like antlers, I will gladly do the Chranukah avatar.

Why, in oilfield terminology, that IS a christmas tree.

Man, this was quite the challenge. I couldn't figure out a way to make two menorahs fit, so I did one menorack on each side. I hope it works for you.

I'm a Channukiah! I'm a Channukiah! Ich bin ein ninth candle! Does this mean I have to set my hair on fire on the fourth night? Or am I the Shamus, providing light to all the other candles? O! Where's a Rabbi when you need one?

[Caligulette]

Which is to say "THANK YOU!"

[livius drusus]

Surely there's something about this thorny theological issue in the Talmud.

[Caligulette]

I must study!

[livius drusus]

Because I am notoriously incapable of leaving well-enough alone, I made a second version. The cantlers are closer together in this one and therefore just slightly less likely to accidentally kindle your head/shamash.



It looks more menorah-y than antler-y like this, I think. Anyhoo, just an extra option for ya.

I've changed my custom user title to something appropriate for the season.

Yeah, I knew that, which is why I was bemused. Not everybody knows that, though, so I thought I'd mention it and see if anybody asked about it. I think you should get extra brownie points for the clever.

Totally.

[Julie]

Liv you totally rock! I at your amazing skills!

[Shelli]

You guys have me so itching to pull out my x-mas av.

It'll just have to wait 'till December 6th or 7th though.

Excellent job on the avatars, liv!
