Lol bit contrastic name, Dutch Sunshine. Rare in Holland :P
Anyway looks nice. Is it a screenshot you filtered? Composition is nice, the gingerbread men draw the attention to them, looks good.
More progress from me:
Minami yet to be finished.

Sorry but I do not live in Holland but in another province 
, I based it off a screenshot indeed, altough it's some more work than a mere filter..
Btw, your drawings look pretty funny, I wish I could draw like that :\

That's actually pretty cool. Did you also make the Traveler? Because that would rock even more!
KiyaKoreena
Nah, no Traveller. I didn't even get around to making a polar bear like I wanted to. My daughter had tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy on the 23rd so that was pretty much my cut-off for getting anything major done in my house. She is finally feeling a bit better (yay!) so maybe I can get chores done and some decent pictures taken for my entry.

@Dutch: Nice balance in this piece. The effect almost reminds me of stained glass.
Widowmaker
Dutch:
I'd suggest moving either Dwayna slightly to the left or Grenth slightly left. Right now Dwayna looks slightly pushed off to the side and Grenth is dominant.
I feel if they both stood roughly the same distance from the centre it would balance the piece more.

@ Tommy: Nice, cute work.
@Dutch Sunshine: Great job so far. I have to agree with Chyminy and say that your most recent update reminds me of stained glass, I like the effect and the style. It certainly has a lot of Wintersday spirit about it!
@ Kiya: Wonderful as always, definitely the best stuffed Yakington I've ever seen. I simply cannot wait to see your finished product!

Kiya, I loooove the Prof soo sweet *hugs*
Sunshine, I really like the last version, very nice colours! I just don't know whether or not I like the font, perhaps something more pop-art would work better? I dunno..

Finished colouring Araiia's sin and "Rudolf" Combined digital painting on the reindeer with (I guess the name would be) cel shading on araiia. Looks a bit messed up but funny imo.
And Morag, your avatar is hot! Is it Lavah's? Wanne see the rest too :O

Dutch Sunshine: looks really cool, though I agree with Morag; the font needs reconsideration 
I've no idea about fonts though, if I were you I'd check out www.dafont.com and try and find something I like there.
Tommy: your colouring has improved! I'm so looking forward to seeing everything comes together! I love how you made Tzu, if you dont mind I'm going to cut her out of the image at a later date for different uses (all credits go to you, of course).
As for me, weather predictions say it's gonna be around -20C nearly every day of next week. On top of that, government is having issues moving all the snow away from the streets (and the forests require "snowshoes" or skis to traverse. I'm afraid I'm going to have to cancel the outdoor photoshoot if, against all odds, I manage to finish my project. Goddamn.
Funny thing is, I've made good progress and I think, if I continue working hard, I shall be able to finish the costume (except the gloves, probably, takes ages making from scratch) in time for picture-taking on wednesday the 30th. Oh well, we'll see I suppose >.<''

TZu i hope you do finish you will probably win again tbh i love ur costumes they just work. my dam brother left the camera charger at his flat so i have no charge i may just use my 5mp but it doesnt have a shallow lense instead it focuses on the landscape which in my case is the freaking pillow case behind the models.
I cba to finish grenth so its just going to be dwayna and the snowman. u think that will be enough?

A little question regarding fonts, brushes, etc... as I am a bit confused. Sometimes pple who created those ask to be credited for (for example by posting a link to their site), would using those be ok for such thing as this wintersday contest, as, until you put a link on the picture itself, I don't see other ways to give credit? :S

Well, either use one where they don't ask for credit or provide the credit here at guru in this thread I suppose. They'd get more exposure here at guru in regards to the credit.

cheers for changing my prize tzu, im perfectly happy giving it, but i suggest that you ALL change your guild wars password,email password,gw guru password and basically all passwords related to gw, i think they changed my password using my email which is the same as xunlai house but i dont know where they got the info so cant point the finger at anyone.

Oh, in case anyone was wondering about the snowflake on top of the tree:
It just reacts VERY well to LED flashlights.

*starts tossing snowballs around* Need more entries for the Best Wintersday Caption prizes. With the amount of sugar running through some people's bloodstreams there should be some *cough* interesting ideas out there.

I thought the deadline for prose was the 23rd so I didn't send my lyrics.
Btw, The tree and decorations look awesome. Why aren't you in charge of merchandising at arenanet? I'd buy one of the Yakkingtons in a heartbeat.
Dutch That postcard is seriously cool. I think you've got the balance down pretty good now. I like how you've got it sitting on a table and the edges are a little frayed. Nice touch.
Tommy Very cute drawing. Only thing I notice is that the nose of the reindeer doesn't seem to be quite defined enough. I assume the nose is red and giving off light but I'm not certain. Does that make sense?
