I would love to try this in my other blog.

I had snow falling on my WP blog but had to stop all the snow because it slowed up the loading time. No drama though because I adapted the theme a whole lot to give it that Christmas touch.
I’m sure there are lots of Blogger folk who will love ya for this post.

Hi Sire,..
better for me, having slow loading for one month to the theme for Christmas, rather than God’s good fortune and other gifts having slow loading forever
FWIW

Nothing like snow to really kick off that Christmas spirit. I just hope we get some real snow here in the UK this year.
Sire’s absolutely right when he says, ‘I’m sure there are lots of Blogger folk who will love ya for this post.’
Regards,
Karl

@ Harry, that’s true but if your loading time is too slow, you may put people off, that’s like no-one showing up for Christmas.

Oh yes, I was in time to check out the snowing effect on Sire’s site before he stopped it. It was nice.. However, I do understand the loading issue, I didn’t put that on my site for the similar reason. Again, some will definitely appreciate you sharing the codes. ^^ Sure is a cool way to add a little Christmas touch to blogs.

Gotta agree with Sire. My loading time at home is severely slowed down by “cool” stuff.

Anything Christmasy gets two thumbs up from me. How fun!
