See what being a nice guy will get you?

A while back... ok, quite a while back, I mentioned an idea I had for a new banner. I was just hoping to pull it off using my basic photoshopping skills ("photoshopping" as a generic term, I have an older version of Paint Shop Pro, which isn't quite the same thing).

Derek, professional art-teest that he is, was kind enough to offer to create it based on my idea. His first go was awesome, but not quite what I had in mind. Second and third, closer. There are a couple of changes I'd still like to make, but tell me that ain't genius up top there, both in execution and concept.

Derek, you rock. Go Avs.

Great work.I like it.However,I could do without the "Favorite Things" part though.Having worked in many different stores during Christmas as an assembley tech trust me when I tell you that you would not believe how many different versions there are of that song and how much they love to play them.Why the hell it's a Christmas song I don't know(subconcious manipulation?) but if I ever hear that song or I Don't Wanna Wait by Paula Cole or Give It Up Or Let Me Go by Bonnie Rait ever again I swear I'll jump.I would have given my left nad to have heard I Believe in Father Christmas by Emerson,Lake and Palmer just once.
