Happy Holidays, the WidgGeek Way



DURING the holiday season, it's important to remember all the little things that count.

Despite the often harsh critique on widgets this blog has, we're thankful for them. Even though we expect a lot, we're respectful of, and even glad for, their lighter roots.

So in honor of that, here's some of the zaniest, kitchiest, most absurd and fun holiday widgets.

Happy holidays, from WidgetWatch!

1. Leg Lamp: For all the fans of TNT's never-ending loop of the holiday classic.

2. Snow Line: Help Santa collect all the presents so he can distribute them to all the good little boys and girls.

3. Christmas dinner: Collect turkeys and puddings to help prepare a delicious, though certainly not nutritious, holiday feast.

4. Countdown: There are a million of these out there, this is my pick for cheesiest. For your dashboard.

5. Festive Lights: Get your desktop festive. It's not a holiday till your dock sparkles with Christmas spirit.

6. "Waltz of the Flowers" from The Nutcracker. Greet everyone on your blog with the classical Christmas tunes.

7. Christmas music: For all the traditional Christmas tunes. A Google gadget for your iGoogle homepage.

8. Menorah: For our Jewish WidgGeeks. A candle is added each day. (If anyone can find a dreidel widget, I'll be forever grateful...I can't find one anywhere)

9. Kinara: Kwanzaa widget, with a new candle everyday. From Springbox, the same developer as the menorah widget.

10. Dancing Santa: an embedded YouTube video (yep, they're widgets, too!). Too funny, too addicting.



Happy holidays!
