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 [livejournal.com profile] jenlan, [livejournal.com profile] captain_molly, [livejournal.com profile] drbillbongo, [livejournal.com profile] kingsleygirl, [livejournal.com profile] silverjet747, [livejournal.com profile] daughtermestizo, and [livejournal.com profile] elizile. therefore look but don't touch.

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

<3s,
Mel


**songs I really wish I had: Christmas Waltz, Christians Be Joyful (Bach Christmas chorale dealie -- I miss it SO HARD), Adeste Fideles, excerpts from Handel's Messiah, Hard Candy Christmas, Tender Tennesee Christmas, Need A Little Christmas, Silver Bells, White Christmas with the whole intro, You're a Mean One Mister Grinch, I Don't Remember Christmas, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, Carol of the Bells, Noel Nouvelet, Jesu Bambino, Patapan, ANYTHING ELSE WE'VE DONE AT BROOKFIELD ACADEMY CONCERTS (like I'm thinking I would kill for even junk off the CDs). omg please... it is sad how much I really want to hear this stuff.

I have absolutely no ideas for an icon. So I guess if you get something in mind.. or feel like poking me until I just think up something, that's fine.

But I do come bearing a butt-load of songs. ^_^

Twelve Days of Christmas (weapons) -has fantastic harmony, I think-
http://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=05I8WLB55YXKH28MUJ57EATZ2I

Christmas at Ground Zero -Weird Al-
http://s60.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2FORRVHP0AQPK2V4U8MBRS3A1Z

You Ain't Getting Shit for Christmas -Funnier than it sounds-
http://s60.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0IFZSWNXPMXE92D3AN693Z0NHN

Santa Went Crazy -My favorite Weird Al Christmas spoof-
http://s40.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0BMZ3DN1PCG3V0Y4F64515R9TE

Twelve Days of Christmas (liquor) -...Well this just plain amuses me-
http://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=11HWMGED4GL1705VP8GAFIEAFS

Um.. I think they're all 'fairly' safe. And I'm sure you've heard/have them all, but they're still funny. ^_^

And in case you were looking for a legitimate Christmas song.. here's the URL to the Barenaked Ladies/Sarah McLachlan's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings.. It's pretty good.
