it's that time of year / whentheworldfallsinlove ev'ry song you hear / seems to say

[themeletor]

so, some may remember from last year the CHRISTMAS ICON REQUEST THINGEE!

I do. it was fun. i'mma do it again, k.

so here's the deal:

open to: everyone. don't even have to be on my flist. but, you know, it'd be nice if I knew you from somewhere or another.
starting: now! asap! let's get this show on the road!
ending: I'll probably stop taking requests a few days before Christmas. that way I can get all the icons out before the Big Day.
here's what you do:
reply here. give me a character, person, critter, image, idea, WHATNOT (if I don't think I can do it with what you've given me I'll tell you); and a Christmas carol/Christmassy song. you don't have to actually -give- me the song, just the title, but I'd be HAPPY to be given mp3s... my Christmas music is so not much now that I'm away from house, WI and also not in the BA Christmas Concert. it's sad. (songs I really really miss are listed at the bottom of the post)
here's what I do:
make the icon. post it... somewhere; find you and direct you to it. it is then yours. you are not obliged to share it.

ON THAT NOTE, LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THE ICON PERSONALIZED (your name, nickname, or username on it) OR NOT. or if there's other, non-Christmas-song-text you want, instead of (or in addition to) the Christmas song text. I'll probably say ok, especially if I like you, but I reserve the right to say no, nope, nuh-uh, and/or no fucking way.

please request; it was a blast; I'd like to do it again

examples from last year are here. they belong to jenlan, captain_molly, drbillbongo, kingsleygirl, silverjet747, daughtermestizo, and elizile. therefore look but don't touch.

ASK AWAY! and fandom, any person, any thingee, whatever. let's do it!

<3s,
Mel

"the sun is shining, the grass is green / the orange and palm trees sway / there's never been such a day in Beverly Hills, LA / but it's December the twenty-fourth / and I am longing to be up north"
