Christmas Map (looking for artist)

Hello...
since i really liked the Halloween Event with free speedgames, i hope you'll do this again on christmas. To contribute, i drafted a mapidea. I cant draw shit, so i hope some of the more talented artists can help me out. The idea is a little bit like Haunted Hollow, Prison break and Circus Maximus.

3 Family/Houses, red green blue (can be named otherwise, i.e Meyer, Smith, Adams). Houses can be entered through chimney, and entered/left through door. Families have Father, Mother, Grandparents, Children. Some of the Family members are out on the street.
Every Child has a Present, which is produced by the elves or delivered by santa right now.
Everyone in one house can attack the rest of the house, everyone on the road can attack everyone else on the road (like main hall in prison break).
Children can attack the wishlist in their according colours.
Wishlists <-> Elves attack each others, but not wishlists among each others.
The elves produced all the presents (so they can attack each other)
On the christmas sledge everyone can attack each other.
Only Santa and the sledge (or maybe only the presents in the according colors) can attack the chimneys

The Snowman could be a single Country, that gives a Bonus of +1, but can only be attacked (so, it would be a dead end, or have you ever seen a snowman attack somebody.) Only the three kids building the snowman can attack it.

I think the map idea is a good mixture, and i would love to see somebody draw it (i can help with more ideas and XML). I hope to get some feedback on the idea :)

(The dotted squares/circles are supposed to show groups which can attack each other.

I've been meaning to try a christmas map for a while, but it's already too late to get it ready in time... the whole process takes weeks/months. Somebody needs to get started around August.

There was a famous (almost iconic) American artist of I think the 1930's who did a whole bunch of family scenes with a comedy angle, very crisp accurate style but I can't think of his name for the life of me. I think he was featured in magazines regularly in the 50's. I would ask the wife but she's asleep and would get annoyed lol. However such art work if traced or otherwise used for inspiration, this could be a help to you? I'm sure the artist is dead by now so copyright might not be an issue :D

I had just thought it would be a good thing to have a Xmas map, and here u are already, yay :) My thoughts would be to have a large Xmas tree on one side of the map, where the Fairy, the baubles etc are the territories. Underneath is a stack of presents, and then on the other side is a fireplace with Xmas cards on top, a coffee table with a plate of mince pies and a glass of sherry etc. Use any of that if it helps you, good luck :)
