Question: Must they be holiday-themed? Or does "holiday" just describe the time period of the project?

They should capture the spirit of the holiday season.

Is there an objective holiday spirit that you are going to be looking for in people's creations, or is this supposed to be more of a "what the holidays mean to me..." interpretive thing?

I like making small one-paper animations as a form greetings card. I made this one for halloween:

Nothing very special about this, but I think its a cute thing to send to some friends and family. With more time and effort, something more interesting would no doubt emerge.

Hmm, maybe I can make a sleigh do a wheelie?

I'm actually busy designing my low budget / eco friendly/ high tech first house right now, but it won't be done in time for this christmas unfortunately.

I am commissioning an elf outfit to be made for my son Zephyr, featuring ADORABLE LEDERHOSEN and JINGLY FOOTBELLS. This will be a project embarked upon by my wife and I, and our last collabo was this snazzy Napoleon outfit:

Needless to say, this will be the pinnacle of holiday heartwarmingness.

Sketches forthcoming. A little investment would allow for more ornateness in the brocading, ensuring ever further that Zephyr will spit up on it.

Is that Zeh-fur or Zee-fur, just out of curiosity?

Shannon and I are certainly going to make a Hammukah dinner for our dog, featuring a bacon menorah, spam dredel, and sausage patty gelt.

If we get around to it we've discussed making sweaters with rocketship/racecar felt appliques. Felt appliques with fiber-optic light features.

I'm thinking some form of audio recording music though I have no clue how I'll go about it but I'll see what transpires
