OK, so this is a bit of a departure from the usual ‘serious’ plugins I blog about. As I have a little of the Christmas spirit in me (mainly Rum) at the moment I thought I would give you a rundown of my Top 5 Christmas plugins for WordPress. I could only find 5 items, I just couldn’t bring myself to subject my readership to some of the hideous Christmas crap out there on the interweb. For ‘serious’ plugins please see Top 10 WordPress Plugins – November 2008.

If you think there is a plugin worth a mention next month or you have developed a plugin and would like it reviewed please comment or contact admin@enterprisemastermind.com

1. Snowfall Plugin

Go to download page
Does what it says on the tin really. Lets you have lovely snowflakes falling down your visitors screens and stuff. You specify the graphic you want to use so I suppose this could be a Valentines day plugin (hearts) or anything else you want. Guaranteed to reduce your readership considerably. Use sparingly.

2. ChristmasSprite – Christmas CountDown

Go to download page
Lets you place a flash banner on your blog that counts down to christmas. See below. Especially useful if your readership regularly lose track of the day they are in and need a reminder.

What your reader might not say: “Really? Great, glad I came here now”.

3. Christmas Days theme

Go to download page
Not a plugin I know, but out of the Christmas themes available for your beloved WordPress, this is probably one of the least offensive to your eyeballs.

4. Let it snow!

Go to download page
Another snowfall plugin I’m afraid. In case you wanted 2. Or have 2 blogs and wanted a different snowfall plugin on each. Whatever.

5. Vermilion Christmas Theme

Go to download page
I thought this would be easy, but I really struggled to find 5 half-decent items for this post. That fact is reflected here. Enjoy… or not.

Check back next month when normality will resume and there will be useful stuff here instead of all this garbage. Bah humbug!

Oh, and to all of my readers – have a happy Christmas and New Year! I hope Santa brings you a booklet explaining where everything has gone to in WP 2.7.
