Thanks for all the great feedback. It's been in the works since early November when SuperFlash101 suggested we do something for the Special and the Holiday season in general. When I designed it, I tried not to make it too "over-the-top" red and green and I think we ended up with a nice balance here. It was rolled out to coincide with Christmas Vacation, but if it's well received we could put it up the weekend after Thanksgiving in the US (fourth Thurs. in November).

@AgentGoldfish: if you want to keep it until your birthday, let me know and I'll load it as your personal skin.
