X-MasTree
The holiday season is upon us, and it is only 28 days until Christmas. I know this because I just downloaded X-MasTree, a freeware app that puts a Christmas tree (with optional Christmas countdown) on your desktop. X-MasTree has a surprising number of preferences for a one trick freeware app. You can choose the color of the tree, what kind of lights are on, whether those lights blink, and if you want a star on top.X-MasTree 1.3 is a Universal Binary and requires OS X 10.4.

Thanks for usually being a fan, thomas. It is true that X-MasTree was mentioned in that post, but I thought it was a silly enough app to deserve a mention all by itself.

Pretty sweet, thanks! I have been searching for one of these little apps for a week or so now. :)

I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to Christmas, I've had a countdown going since 70 or so days. Now, I get a text message every morning with that countdown, and I use a Firefox plugin to have it constantly showing.
If only I had a Mac, then I could use this lovely widget. :D
