DAC entrants will be accepted, but try to use your own items.
Please be sure to save your entry to an outside image host like imageshack or imgur. What I see is what I'll judge, so be sure that the avatar you enter is saved and won't change or the link breaks.
Once your entry is on the front page you can not change it, so make sure you like your entry before you submit.

Deck Your Hall!
The theme for this FOWN is Home for the Holidays, so I want you to show me how you "deck your halls"!
That means I want to see you decorate a room in your house for the holiday, whichever holiday it is that you celebrate this time of year.
Requirements:
*Your entry should have no avatar, and be only a background.
*You can choose any room you like to decorate; e.g. living room, kitchen, secret laboratory, torture chamber, and so on.
*The decorations have to clearly represent a REAL holiday or event people celebrate; Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, the Solstice, and so on, even New Year's Eve as the event goes that long.
*Tip: Work with what you know and stand out from the crowd!

If there is one thing there is an abundance of during this time of year, it's the holiday music. They start playing it on the radios as early as November first for cryin' out loud! Well, let's make use of it all and get inspired by it.
Requirements:
*Find a holiday song which inspires you.
*Make an avatar that represents the song in the best way you know how.
*Don't forget to add a link to the song so I can listen! It can be a video or just the song.
*Please don't choose the same song as someone else if you can help it.
*Tip: Pick a song that moves you!

My BF and I are long distance and it would be amazing to be with him for Christmas, but that can't happen this year. So this song means a lot to me (and I like Michael Buble xD)
I tried to make it as accurate to me as possible so that's why it might not make sense all the way through xD I love pink :3
Was inspired by the 'Silent Night' song and how peaceful it sounds. Reminds me of a cold and crisp winter night with snow falling gently and everything is still and silent.
We're Going Wassailing! A Group Contest!
Since there has been some talk of music *cough*lookup*cough*, let's talk about caroling.
Caroling was used back in the day to share oral traditions through the generations.
I want you to make a group of carolers! You can look any way you like, perhaps a jazz band singing soulful blues, a hair band looking to pep up the masses, or maybe even a Menewshan band rocking out on their vuvuzelas. The opportunities are quite endless given all the genres of music out there.
Requirements:
*Your group should consist of 2-4 users.
*Your avatars need to look like they are outside; they're carolers after all.
*Your group needs to look like they belong together.
*Tip: Make your genre of music obvious!

I haven't looked I usually wait until the 1first event item comes out so that I don't start purchasing items because then I wind up with duplicated seevin triplicates and then don't get all the things I want. So I usually just buy for others off the get go
