As you stare out the window, just days before Christmas, you don't see the decorations that usually adorn the buildings and trees this time of year. The streets are empty, the people who help bring magic to the holiday season have become dejected and disappeared.
You sigh and decide to look in your closest. You spot a Santa hat sitting on the top shelf. You grab it and think to yourself:
"What if I help bring the magic back to the holiday season?"

Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a "holiday helper"?
Anybody that could be considered to help spread the wonder and magic of the holiday season! Some basic fictional examples include Santa Claus and his elves, but even real life examples like delivery drivers and toy makers also work! Any winter holiday like Christmas or Kwanzaa will count!
Feel free to get as creative with it as possible while adhering to the theme! Just don't dress yourself up as a "villain" of the holidays, like the Grinch or Ebenezer Scrooge!
Can I use custom designs made by other people?
Yes.
Do any reactions besides the like and love reacts count for community favorites?
No! Only like and love reacts will be considered for voting.
