Are we able to enter one for this one, and then one in the Re:Start thread as well? I didn't see on either thread saying yes or no about it. I know Classic/Renewal are both for this one but RE:Start I'm assuming is different? I'm not talking about submitting the same piece of art for both, I mean doing 2 completely different entries.

Hi everyone! I addressed some frequently asked questions in the edited OP above. I'll be hiding the other posts now - please save your posts in this thread for your entries only, okay? Thank you!

Seasons Greetings from Sassacats!  This year we give a mountain of magical presents from Vice President Blue, wearing the traditional reindeer-themed Santa costume!  Blue worked very hard to wrap each one while watching 80's/90's American adventure game let's plays.  How many do you see?
When I think of Christmas, I think fondly of Ragnarok Online.  I haven't played much this season but I still like to log in and see the christmas decorations.  The new Prontera looked very beautiful.  Thank you for making the Holidays a special one.
