Art:December Doodles 2016
The December Doodles is an event formerly run by Apollo. In 2012, the format changed from daily weekday events to twice-weekly due to time constraints; this format has continued ever since.
December (not daily) Doodles 2016 [1] is the twelfth annual December Doodles event. It was hosted by Hera, Clotho, and Nemesis.
As in 2012, 2013, and 2015, Shiny Sun Points were awarded as additional prizes.

- Papa,
- Peter Panda picked a plentitude of pecks of pretty plants, presumably to please his palate. Pesky Peter peeves your precious princess. Prevent painful punishment to piggish panda by producing proper payment to purchase Peter's presence.
