Well, christmas is approaching .... lots of time to devote to creativity ....
who out there thinks it's time for another fun POVray competition? If you do 
then the harder question is obviously "what sort of competition?".
ps: I'm offering to run/manage it.

Hi Paul,

I don't know if my following suggestion could be considered 'fun' or worthy
of a competition, but http://www.povray.org/temp/xmascard.jpg was always a
favourite of mine. I'd be happy to see some more renderings along this line,
done using more of POV-Ray's modern features (the origin of the above scene
goes back to our Compuserve days!)

Winner can go into the HOF and the top 10 or so I'll put in rotation on the
front page in place of the existing HOF images for the Christmas period
(let's say December 15 through January 5 or so).

Is this something that would interest ?

'Twould interest me. I was thinking of designing my own Christmas card
this year anyway: beats all the commercial, twee stuff you get in boxes
and on shelves. Time is looking a bit short, but if I manage to get
something I am happy with I'll submit it.
