Animated Christmas Tree
Drive Software offers animated desktop Christmas trees in seven different designs.
you’re able to download each executable Christmas tree in a zip file.
They all come with blinking lights, some with more, others with less bling.
The files eat between 4.500 to 6.500K RAM.
So while they are a nice gimmick and fun for the kids, you should use them sparingly.
Spencer from “ID on Desktop Customization” created a neat set of lights.
you could run multiple copies of the animated Christmas lights to cover your screen.
However, each one costs around 4.500 K RAM.
Desktop Critters
BillyBear4Kids offers free holiday desktop pals.
They are not only animated, but also play different midis when clicked on different spots.
Quite fun for the kids.
Due to the animations and midis, the little critters consume around 10.500 K of RAM.

It also has the same menu.
The Christmas countdown displays Santa in his sleigh and two reindeers.
