*idea thanks to Anna posting in Egypt about this contest... and me reading Terry Pratchett's "Pyramids" during the contest...


And last, Thank you for the contest, Anna and Alerissa; using an old Finnish Xmas play's words:
"We [=me and other Romans who posted here] have not come to sing paint in your house with cunning or wrong-doing, but through your own benevolence. We are poor minstrelpainter-boys and ask for alms just that you will visit our Saturnalia thread(s) in return. Oh, and if you do, a candle to bring light..."
