Barrow-themed Christmas Greetings - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Great contributions here! And a few more thematic offerings:

I did sincerely try googling Kwanza and squirrel and Hannukha and squirrel (and various permutations thereof) and even Eid and squirrel, but not even a skwerl shaped latke could I find. I did find this for all you werewolf fans though:

Apparently there are lyrics and the song is sung to 'Joy to the World'.

And using the 'six degrees of separation' argument, here's another seasonal appropriation that some Downers at least might enjoy:

Bethberry, are you inquiring that we look like Shrek?

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-26-2007, 09:07 PM

I saw that Shrek Christmas special, Bb! Thanks for the image as a reminder.

I believe Esty has answered you, TGEW.

Should anyone find a source for an image of Fiona in that fur hat, please do let me know - it would be a wonderful winter avatar!

Still looking for that perfect gift for your fellow Tolkien fan? Look no farther: here is a life-sized (!) bust for the person who has almost every Tolkien collectible imaginable.

Life-sized Balrog Bust (scroll one third down the page)

Yes, check it out and check it twice. Ain't it nice? A mere 48"w, 40"h, 26"d. And only for CAN$2,750 (+ tax).

Now, I can think of several Downers who might want this!

Humph, there's no wings!

And though I wouldn't particularly favour a Balrog head in my room, I love the idea of true life-sizeness! I'd buy a life sized Aragorn! Or Luthien.. Or Hobbit, since that's all I could afford.

In the theme of Christmas, here's something I drew for a Christmas card. Before you say anything, yes, I shamelessly based Gandalf off of an Alan Lee painting and take no credit for the figure.

Four foot wide?! Flamin' Nora! I mean, we are supposed to be getting a monster telly tomorrow and are wondering where it's going to go, but this thing is even bigger!

And the price!

I could knock one of these up out of an old goat's head and some polyfilla in my cellar for a fraction of the price
