I promised a new christmas picture this weekend, but I am having a heck of a time thinking of what I'd like to draw. I can actually come up with a number of cute and funny single character scenes but I think what I want to do is a group scene. Anyone have any family friendly and christmas-y ideas?

I just finished a YA sci-fi book called "Black Hole Sun" by David McInnis Gill, and it really "feels" like a story set in the Firefly universe. It’s about an outcast teen mercenary named Durango who is living on a future Mars who, with an equally outcast crew, takes any job he can get. The job they take on in this book is working for a bunch of indentured miners at a remote outpost. They are trying to defend themselves from the "Draeu", a race of unstoppable, vicious cannibals. There is one merc named Vienne who is his second in command. If she wasn't blond, she could be Zoe, and there is another mercenary called Jenkins who sounds and acts just like Jayne. I was reading along thinking how Whedonesque the characters sounded when on page 93, someone swears in Chinese. I would bet my right arm that this author is a Firefly fan.
