The holidays on Deviantart!

^guruubii:iconguruubii: reports, Nov 18, 2007
Happy Holidays!

As the year winds down again, it seems like there is not enough time in the day to do all the things that’s must be done. Many cultures around the world have holidays at this time of year. The very obvious one is Christmas. I know that Christmas is often criticized but this year, let the deviants take over the holidays! Who better to take something and give it a fun and creative spin but the members of the largest, most successful creative community in the world?

The holidays around the world suffer at the hands of commercialism and greed (not only from buisnesses but all those people that want ipods instead of home made presents). Lets put a positive spin on it and make this the season of art! We have a pile of events, and contests, not only Christmas related, but even some events for the grinches out there. There are charities to help the unfortunate, contests to win prizes and educational projects. As these projects are launched I will update this journal, and include the links on the lists below! The launch dates are beside each contest!

Check out my journal here as Holiday Central!! It will be kept most up to date :)

^PurpelBlur's project does not have a link to it. It is just http://

:clap: There is just so much I want to do here on dA. The holidays are the best time to be here.

I'm looking forward to entering at least one of these. It's true that commercialism and politics have done some serious wear-and-tear on the whole holiday spirit, but instead of complaining, as artists, we should do what we can to bring it back!

Yes thank you :)
I am a firm believer that you have to make your own happiness, and the bitching and moaning is all about preventable things :)

Money - make gifts, its less superficial anyways. This society is too materialistic. we are artists. Gifts are in our blood. ( myself, this year, I have a 0$ shopping budget, and i am still excited. I am making a film for xmas)
Crowds - shop earlier... duh... LOL
Commercialism - is a beast that needs to be fed. Dont feed into it and it wont affect you.

all thigs with easy solutions that have to come from inside :)
Sometimes i feel like the only one who sees that, so your comment is refreshing :)

This just makes people who dont have holidays feel bad. :(
^guruubii:iconguruubii: Nov 19, 2007, 2:48:58 AM Mood: Irritated
In what way does other people celebrating thier own various cultural and religious events, inflict emotional distress on other people?
nothing is preventing you from doing art for contests or making donation cards or stockings - no matter if you celebrate or not.
your misery is self inflicted, and I apologize for sounding harsh, but you dont have my sypathies.
There is no reason that someone elses joy should cause someone else distress or self pity.
Life should be celebrated.
