Yay Christmas! *gets out a big long list of Christmas-related stuff*
Maybe these key words can help you with ideas Tess:
- Red, Green & White
- Snow, Snowflakes, Blue & White
- Scarves
- Gingerbread
- Santa
- Elves
- Stockings
- Candy Canes
- Bells (Gold & Silver)
- Christmas Tree
- Christmas Lights (have a puppy tangled up in these, that would be SO cute!)
- Reindeer! (All 9 of them! XD)
- Snowglobe
- Log fire
- Starry night with Santa & his sleigh on the rump!
If you want a religious one, I think a night one with the Star of Bethlehem would be nice, although it may make people that don't celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday feel a bit odd. They could adopt it as a generic night-time pet though.
Although Christmas has religious connotations, I think it's also a very family-oriented holiday, so is probably celebrated by a lot of non-religious people because it's a lot of fun for the kids and it still has important meanings like togetherness & family, so I can see how it can easily be celebrated without religion being brought into it if that is desired.
Ambrose:
Why would we not celebrate just because xyz and abc doesn't celebrate that holiday? If abc doesn't celebrate New Years, does that mean it's offensive to release fireworks pets? If xyz doesn't celebrate birthdays, does that mean it's offensive to release pets with candles and happy birthday on them? If abc and xyz don't celebrate Christmas, does that mean that nobody is allowed to celebrate Christmas because it's offensive to those 2 people? NO!
If someone is offended by other people celebrating a holiday, be it for religious or family reasons, then that's just stupid. I'm not offended that people don't celebrate a holiday I celebrate, why should others be offended that I celebrate a holiday that they don't? That's just being intolerant, and I hate intolerant people. You don't have to like it, just tolerate it. If the world was like this there would be no racism or religious wars or infringements on the rights of people because they are gay or female or don't have blue eyes etc. I don't celebrate Hannukah (sorry if that's mispelt) but if Tess released some Hannukah pets I'd still like and adopt them. And I'd respect them because I know they'd mean something special to some people.
So it's nice that you are looking out for people that don't celebrate Christmas, but those people have no right to be offended by Tess releasing Christmas pets. Tess IS making these pets for all. If people don't want them, then that's their problem. I'm sorry if I sound harsh but I'm sick of the world being so intolerant of people. Black people, gay people, females, people of different religions... they are all people and they all have rights and they should all have the same rights but they aren't always allowed to because people aren't tolerant of other people, and that's sad.
So the CS Christmas pets SHOULD be Christmas themed and not generic, because Tess and a lot of people on CS want to celebrate Christmas, and we should be allowed to celebrate Christmas.
