Happy 1st of December – want some Christmas fun?
So it's the 1st of December and in the IT Pie office we thought we'd ensure you have a chance of a white Christmas with this cheeky little script. Simple right click and save one of the following images to your images folder on your website: 
Then copy and paste the below script into you web page after the <body> tag:

Ensure that the 'var snowsrc="images/snow.gif"' points at the image you have just saved (you may need to rename the file) and there you go. A White Christmas on your website. Hope you enjoy The IT Pie team Thanks to Dynamic Drive and the author Sasa Skevin for the script.
