December Team Challenge:Neglected Holidays

Our Red and white team challenge was great. We had a lot of great Christmas dolls and a few non-Christmas dolls as well. Christmas always steals the spotlight as far as special days go for the month of December. So our team challenge for December is to make a doll representing a neglected holiday or special day in December. The big obvious choices are Hanukah or Kwanzaa. However I researched a few other days. December is also National tie month.There is a national day for everything! December also contains the day of the horse, ninja day, cotton candy day, Mutt day, pretend to be a time traveler day, poinsetta day, monkey day, and faux fur day. ( I didn't make them up, I found them on-line! Of course that still could mean someone else made them up :) don't forget New Years eve is still December too! Pick any of the above special days, or any other special day in December that you can think of. Be sure to tell us what special day or celebration your doll represents.
To participate in this challenge, just post a link to your finished doll in this discussion thread by December 31st. All dolls entered will be featured on our team treasury and our facebook page.

Cathy I somehow knew that monkey day would be your favorite ;)
By the way, today is Ninja day. In honor of Ninja day, here is my Santa Ninja.

Re: December Team Challenge:Neglected Holidays

Uh oh... So I finished my doll, re-read your post, and realized you said neglected holidays IN DECEMBER.

Here I was thinking I was so smart for making an Earth Day doll that looked vaguely Christmassy:

Re: December Team Challenge:Neglected Holidays

good one. I hadn't seen that day yet. Although "pretend to be a time traveler day" was a few days ago. That would be fun for some historical costumes...hmmm...

I just found out that December 21st, in addition to being Flashlight Day, Hamburger Day, and Fried Shrimp Day, is also National Have a Positive Outlook Day! My hippie mermaid thinks that's groovy.

Thanks for having me in your group. I haven't been working as of late. It has been a stressfull time this last year and I need to get back into my art. If anyone wants to look at my work and give me feedback, I would appreciate it.
