Our Gift to you - Christmas Time Theme

Take a break from the crazy holiday pace and grab the new Christmas Time theme from Stardock. This is a stand-alone suite that anyone can download and run, it's completely stand-alone. This would be a great gift to hand out to friends and family who might be interested in customizing their desktops, but don't know what programs they would need to do it.

As a special bonus, we've worked with several members of the WinCustomize community to build some additional matching gadgets for this theme. I highly recommend everyone takes a look them, they're very nice and are a fun addition to this holiday theme.
