Deck the halls, bundle up in your warm clothes, and prepare for a Minecraft holiday celebration! ChristmasCraft features a number of changes to help you get into the Christmas spirit:

• Colder biomes, meaning snow is all around!
  
• New items and recipes for delicious Christmas-time treats!
  
• A Christmas Tree Stand on which to grow your very own Christmas tree!
  
• Decorations, such as Christmas ornaments, wreaths, stockings, and redstone-powered Christmas lights!
  
• The ability to wrap up nearly any item as a Christmas present, and give it as an item or place it like a block!
  
• A new semi-rare friendly mob, the Creeper Claus!
  
• Santa's helpers, the Ender Elves, are here to deliver presents!
  
• Perhaps even a visit from Santa himself??

New in version 2.0:

• You can wrap up enchanted and renamed items as presents!
  
• Three all-new holiday music discs!
  
• Snow and ice will now melt after the holidays are over

Also, the snowy weather and seasonal mobs are only available during the month of December (unless you change the setting in ChristmasCraft.cfg)! After that, biomes will return to normal and the snow will gradually melt.

I just tested this out. It's AMAZING! One bug though. The presents from the stockings are unlimited. They stay on the ground but fill your inventory. Oh well! Still, very cool, and fits the christmas season!

[Isaac_x]
