Description Despite the title, the song I had playing in my head when I was working on this was Brown Derby Jump

I'm really trying to do some semblance of normal things like holiday cards this year. So Pie, Pumpkin? was the start and this is actually the third one I had roughed out. I've been wanting to do something with swing dance for a while now, I just hadn't quite worked out the composition, so I really couldn't resist skipping to this one first and hopefully getting back to the other one later

In any case, happy holiday season and here's to hoping you have this much energy by the end

I love it. I get the feel of the retro dance hall, with a contemporaty illustration style. This rocks.

GoblinQueeen In reply to Meloy [2007-12-03 15:24:13 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I can garuntee you not by the 4th But I have been trying to figure out a food theme that would work in this same way. Do you know of one?

Meloy In reply to GoblinQueeen [2007-12-03 15:47:43 +0000 UTC]

Well, you could do sufganiyot (actually, I'm planning on making some of those soon...) or latkes or something. That would be pretty swingin'! Plus anything with olive oil is great (and anything Kosher, duuuuh). You could also do chocolate gelt, which is always great.

Happy holidays to you too! It's funny how this time of year can suck the energy out when really it should rejuvenate us.

lol, yeah I'm seriously one of those people that is bound and determined not to stress. All my shopping is done by the end of October, about the only thing that gets in the way are all the different office holiday functions. Makes it hard to get work done
