While this plugin is about a year old now, it is still pretty great and does a nice simple job of hanging some Christmas lights from the top of your website.

Snow, balloons and more

And now you might want to add a little holiday cheer with some snow, balloons and more… like falling Santas, trees or snow flakes all over. Add this great little plugin, which is also good for other festive occasions.

This presents a couple of animated Snowmen who come in from the side of the screen to a simple melody, share a scarf and then disappear. It hassettings for individual pages and to show it only once.
