Three years ago I was bored so spent a large part of christmas day animating snow and ever since I've spent every christmas animating something festive; I need suggestions on what to animate this year. It could be anything, a roasting fire, phanteater with a santa hat....

How about a giant bomb that gets launched from outer space and lands in Europe and defrosts the place into a working continent again? It could hit at the european parliament in Brussels not to damage the rest of the population user added image

what is a phanteater anyway?? Am I missing something obvious

Gman - I tell ya I could kick peoples asses here I really could, if only they could see how stupid they look. It snowed heavily a few weeks back, my Mrs was saying the supermarket here was allowing only one loaf of bread per customer - like its World War 2 or something.....its just wrong - okay so delivery trucks are gonna get delayed a bit but only for a day or so....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ( runs away!!! )

shit mate, earlier this year, my son was out of school for all but 3 days of January... Most of the time, there was no snow at all on the road...the canceled school for hte whole county because one kid couldn't get to school who lived on like at the bottom of a ten foot tall hill whit a creek running across the base in the shade so their was a patch of snow on the road that was exactly 3 inches across, by 2 inches long, and 1/148th of an inch thick.. LmAo!. i love snow...its beautiful...in pictures of the mountains....and even in my back yard, twice a year.. so long as it falls perfectly in the yard and non on the road...-nod

How about the giant phanteater sat in a chair in front of the fire, picks up a glass and drops some elephant shaped ice cubes into his glass, then pours himself some whisky over the top, sits back and slowly takes a sip.

Or, same scenario, but his posh glass diamond-cut whisky bottle is in the shape of an elephant, he pops the head off (cap) and pours himself a glass. Sits back and enjoys.

... nuke Europe sounds good too.
