Where's all that useless but fun junk I can use to make my powerbook look like the north pole?

I want light bulbs and flashing and candy canes and snow falling on my screen and xmas music - MIDI style - that becomes so annoying by xmas that you put it away until next year.

Holiday Lights used to do this all but I no longer have classic. Looks like this xmas won't be quite as geeky. *sigh*

my mother's got one - not sure what it is, where your desktop snows (and snow accumulates on top of windows if they're left in place for a while) and polar bears walk across your screen

I'm sure its on version tracker somewhere.

There's a great Fireplace screensaver on VersionTracker. Combine that with BackLight (assuming it works on Panther) and you've got a really cool holidays desktop background.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
