Nice.
Yup, where is the sleigh? The sleigh can come out only when your on-line.
I just came up with an idea!! You know pop=up books? Pop-up DX!!!
I love my Christmas pop up book.

Very cool! Be funny if it started to accumulate at the bottom of the screen 
For me the CPU usage seems to be between 2 and 8%.... as it fluctuates. Still it shows the power of DX2.

I added it with a snow background as well. One of the best things I have seen yet.
