(festive jingling noises). Thats the sound of Santa Bard coming to town

For Summoners Rift, Christmas has to come around every year. Due to an explosive mushroom accident, Santa is not currently available. However, Bard has decided to take a break from keeping the multiverse intact and has volunteered to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls. Some ask why to let Bard be head honcho, which is why I've prepared an argument in his defense. Lets start with a comparative list. They both have a luscious white beard, they both have little helpers, and they both have big bellies. Not only that, but strangely, they both manage to travel everywhere in very little time. Bard is also prepared to update his abilities to show his worth.

Visual- Reluctantly, Bard has put a Santa hat over his majestic horn, but is keeping his mask. He also wears a red velvet robe with fluffy stuff on the ends, which he seems to enjoy.

Passive: Traveler's Call- instead of wind chimes, Bard has agreed to instead collect candy canes to again show his Christmas spirit. Also, although the Tribunal never requested this, his meeps are wearing elf hats.

Q: Cosmic Binding- Bard's q is now green and bonds targets together with festive Christmas lights

W: Caretaker's Shrine- Bard has now decided to spread Christmas cheer by turning his shrines into piles of presents that turn into a Christmas tree at full charge.

E: Magical Journey- To practice for the big day, Bard's portals are now fire places leading into a brick chimney, where he'll come out of the other end to deliver more Christmas cheer.

R: Tempered Fate- Now a giant snowball, Bards ultimate will deck all hit champions with balls of holly

(This would be a Bard skin, not a visual update for winter, in case there's any questions on that.) That's it for Bard's application sheet, and its up to you guys whether or not he'll make the part. Enter decision below l l l l V
