bolding this to stay on topic

Santa would not be appropriate to include because it's Christmas.
find me a person who doesn't associate Santa with Christmas.

You can fact-check me, but I went to a church class for ~5 years of my life and that's what they taught.

QuoteSanta Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, or simply Santa (Santy in Hiberno-English), is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring gifts to the homes of well-behaved ("good" or "nice") children on Christmas Eve (24 December) and the early morning hours of Christmas Day (25 December).[1] The modern Santa Claus grew out of traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas, a fourth-century Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra, the British figure of Father Christmas and the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas (himself also based on Saint Nicholas).

Check here

Santa is not Christmas, people associate it with being Christmas. I have also went to Sunday School to and that's what they pretty much taught me about XD. Most Christians can care less about Santa, I don't know where you come from, but maybe it's different for you. Lets just leave this at that until CatLady states whether santa counts or doesn't.


People often think the PH sprites are bland. Do they shade? Well, yes they do. You'll be surprised how much care is taken for these sprites.

let's agree to disagree even though almost everyone associates santa with Christmas and i don't feel like arguing with you over nonsense again

but again, santa does not belong in entries and i believe Catlady previously said so.

What do you mean nonsense? I would never say nonsense. My whole existence isn't nonsense either

True that does sound like CatLady would say, but even if she did state so.

Quote from CatLadyAdditionally, keep the theme in mind as well, so don't make holidays/religion the main focus of your entry.


As long there isn't a tree with presents under and christmas lights with baby Jesus in a crib and Santa (*cough, I mean santa bird) coming down a chimney. It would probably be fine.

Some winter things are like snowflakes, snowmen and angels, snowball fights and forts, hot chocolate, aurora,frost bites, visible breath, peppermint canes and marshmallows,etc. It should all work fine even with just one Santa Claus in the background.

Alright, first of all, please keep a discussion about whether something is Christian or not out of this thread.

If it's part of a holiday, it shouldn't be the main focus. Whether it turns out to be Christian, Pagan or Marsian doesn't really matter. It could be Plutonian that poor orbit-making projectile and it still shouldn't be allowed to take center stage in the drawing.

That's also the main thing; it's allowed, just not as a focus. I purposely didn't outright exclude anything, because I do understand that sometimes it just can't be avoided. Just don't let it draw all the attention to it.

i don't like the fact that it's Christmas and not winter holidays in general if you ask me that's pretty rude for an international game

@umbreon721

It literally says in the requirements that its 'winter themed'. So it can be anything winter related. They didnt say Christmas because they didnt want to single a holiday out.

If you read the post carefully...it isn't about any holiday but just winter. Aka fun activities you can do during winter such as making snowballs, catching snowflakes with tongue, making an angel in the snow etc...Hope this helps instead of calling this browser game rude.

The word “Christmas” isn’t anywhere in the contest. Entries that were about Christmas instead of winter were actually disqualified. Please actually read instead of assuming things

Can we please stop using this thread for discussions? A question/complaint was placed, a response was given. There's no need to keep hammering it in.


On another note - Tomorrow's your final chance to get your entry in, so put those final touches on your final image and show the world what you created ^^
