Personalize your desktop for Christmas

‘Tis the season to be jolly so why not have some fun with your desktop by installing the Microsoft Christmas Theme.

The theme, designed for Windows XP, changes certain elements of your operating system to give them a yuletide flavor. More specifically, the Microsoft Christmas Theme adds a new wallpaper, animated cursors, new icons, sounds and a 3D screensaver.

While this theme is ultra Christmassy – especially the striking Santa background wallpaper – it is perhaps a little tacky and the animated cursor, silly sounds and stupid screensaver can get a bit too much after a while.

The Microsoft Christmas Theme will certainly bring some festive spirit to your PC though.
