Does anyone decorate their computer desktop for Christmas?

I usually change the wallpaper to a Christmas theme and also have a few Christmas icons of Santa, a snowman and a Christmas tree that I use. I have a different email signature for the occasion with Santa waving, and I even made a Christmas screensaver a few years ago.
I realise that this is a little childish, but I still cannot resist it.

I have some little Christmas toys that I put on top of my monitor--a Rudolph the Reindeer figure with bendable arms & legs, Santa and reindeer wind-up toys, etc. They remind me that the holidays are coming and not to get too bummed out when I'm working at the computer all day.

It does not sound childish to me. I think it is pretty fun to change your desktop theme and wallpaper all the time especially during special occasion such as Christmas. I don't do that. I don't change my desktop theme and wallpaper. I guess I am too lazy to do that. Maybe someday in the future I might have this sudden urge to make a change as my desktop always seems dull. But I don't really mind that.

I do not actually use themes because they tend to offer many aspects other than the ones that I want. In fact, I have not used a theme on my computer for about 10 years now. Instead I simply change the wallpaper to a festive one and add a couple of icons.

There is nothing wrong with decorating your computer as it shows that you really enjoy the Christmas and holiday season. I think it is nice and may do that myself. Is there a good site to get nice christmas wallpaper for my computer.

I will make my wallpaper a winter or Christmas theme. I have a Myspace account and I go all out with that. Christmas everything. Even falling snow! If you look at my mylot profile I have made it mostly blue because it reminds me of ice and snow. When it is closer to Christmas time I will change it to reds and greens. I have my own website and right now the template I have is a Winter holiday theme (snowmen and snowflakes). I will always have fun with the holidays!

Personally, I don't think I am going to change mine to a Christmas theme. I used to do that with one site I do, but I just usually now leave mine about the same.

From time to time I have been known to change my Screensaver and Desktop to match an Occassion. I have a Yahoo group I have run that I used to do this with as well. Lately I never take enough time to consider it anymore though.

That's a really good idea. I haven't thought of doing anything like that. I'll try it. You can do it for all holidays.

It is nice to know that I am not the only one who still does this. None of my friends or work colleagues seem to bother with such things.
