This is adorable. <3 I agree with the cause, but as for the oekaki drawing, it looks amazing. I like the detail and the expression of the horse, and the way you designed the lettering looks really cool. Job well done. :3

Very very well done. I love the horse's expression and just the life throughout the picture. It's very good. I agree completely with you. Leave Christ is Christmas.

cause my heart stops without you
there's something about you
that makes me feel alive
we are honey and the bee
backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you
like bees to honey
so let's up
and leave the weeping to the willow tree
and pour our tears in the sea

The X comes from the greek letter chi which is the first letter in the word Xpiotos which translates to christ. Its just another way of saying it from its roots. Nothing other than that.

thanks for loving it, the cheeks wouldn't look puffy if I hadn't made the eye look angry, the curved line is usually flat and straight. Making it rounded up to make the cheek angry made it look puffy, that and the pink to reflect anger.

I'll go see about putting in the little straight line horses show as a cheek bone.

I love this!

But I must say. Xmas is actually correct, and not wrong, in some ways.
As, in greek, the first letter of Christ is 'Chi', identical to our 'X'. And so, it is technically correct, in some manners.

But either way, I LOVE IT! ^^.
