A Most Magical Christmas Ornament
The man running the market stall looks a bit odd, but he is selling christmas ornaments and you really want to put up your decoration in time this year. A certain item catches your eye. It really looks nice.
"Here, what's this?" you ask. The man stops polishing his wand, strokes his beard and chuckles.
"That!", he booms, "That is a special magical christmas ornament straight from the halls of a wizarding school I cannot name because of copyright!"
"I want it, please."
"But it's magical and rare!"
"I have five euros."
"It has MAGICKS woven into its very fabric of being!"
"Yes. Sounds awesome. Look, I make adventure games as a hobby. I know the drill. Can I have it?"
The wizard shrugs, then hands the precious item over, muttering something about being stuck in Monkey Island.
With glee, you take your magical christmas ornament home. When you hang it up, it looks...

So, show us your very own magical christmas ornament!
- There is no colour limit.
- You can flip and rotate the outline.
- If you really must, you can also fill the two holes in the outline.
- Bonus for any combination of tradtional festive ornament and magic. Seriously, don't you think Santa looks a lot like a wizard these days?
Competitions runs from November 26 - December 10. Have fun!
There will be trophies; I have made tiny tiny snow globes. And (and this is just a tiny joke on my part and a shameless attempt at increasing participation) they are all magical.

... and then suddenly it began to talk. 8-0
It introduced itself as owner of the magic key
and to be able to free the spirit of christmas as long as I don't know his real name.
I took a closer look and â€" wait â€" did it move?
Hmmm â€" that would be magical indeed. (roll)

But then I turned it and what I saw was veeery suspicious …

... will the spirit of christmas be freed now?
It might be better to take care of that ourself :wink:
I blame it all on Baron... I was going to wait and see if I could come up with something better, but now that Tabata has posted another one of those images that work upside down and backwards... Well, I have enough trouble making something that is recognizable in one direction. So, here it is:

So, what does a snorkling fish have to do with a magical Christmas? Not a clue. Maybe he's going over the estuary, to Grand Mother's Lake, today. I duuno...
Hah, first shot fired, first pawn moved! Keep it coming (nod)

...still the same to you: a Magical Pluche Candy-Cane-Hamster. But what's the magic part?
Remembering what the wizard said -
"It has MAGICKS woven into its very fabric of being!" - you decide to take a closer look
(read: zoom x4).
With a smile on your you just discovered it's true magic(ks). Seems like the wizard was telling the truth after all...
Gah...
Well, I still think it
does has an enormous portion of magical sweetness:
