It's the most wonderful time of the year.
Even though I'm not much of a holiday spirit person myself, that whole thing where people shop tacky Santa hats onto other people's icons amuses me, so I did some.
Faced with choosing people out of my 200+ friends list, I just generated some random numbers and picked that way. I did ten before I ran out of steam. I didn't really make a huge effort to make them lovely and nice -- I thought that would defeat the point of the exercise.
Two things: please don't feel obliged to actually use this icon and please don't feel obliged to credit me for destroying your nice icon with a badly done hat.
Oh, and I think LJ is still screwing up some user icons, so maybe the one I picked for you wasn't even yours in the first place. That would be funny.

I had to change the color a bit to make the hat show up on the right side, so I Xmas-ified the text as well.

Arai's jaw dropped. "I-I'm the plan B?" He choked on that last word. Backup? Second choice? Wasn't he good enough to be first pick for anything?
Inui's grin was pure evil. "Momoshiro was first--"
And didn't that just make everything even worse, that he was second choice to the biggest, loudest idiot on the courts.
"--but he hasn't shown up. Somebody must have told him about the plan." Inui frowned for a moment, probably calculating who had told Momo about the plan, whatever it was, and forced Inui to rely on Arai, the no good, lame second choice.
Arai ground his teeth.
"Anyway, you're it!" Inui dropped something on Arai's head. "Go take Santa pictures with the first years and supervise their gift exchange with the girls' club, Arai."
Arai clutched at his head. It was a--a Santa hat? "What?"
Inui smiled evilly. "Today's the day of the first year Christmas party." He turned Arai around and pushed him at the tennis courts. "The first years are waiting for you, Santa."
Arai saw Horio, Kachiro, and Katsuo waiting for him. Horio was clutching a large present and talking about how Tomoka-chan would surely fall in love with him now, especially since he'd had years of tennis experience. Why couldn't I have been plan C, or D, or Z? Arai thought.

Is it too soon to start using Christmas icons?
no subject
It's not too soon. Or if it is, by tomorrow it will be fine. :)
