I must admit I haven't set my Christmas tree at home yet. I just feel too lazy to start unpacking green plastic branches, shiny tinsel and colourful balls. So when I came across this little digital Christmas I thought it was a great idea.

Free Christmas Tree is a desktop companion in the shape of a traditional Christmas tree that counts down the days left to Christmas. The program's appearance can be customized with skins and the countdown date can also be changed to New Year's Day or Julian Christmas. Also, if you want to change the clock's font, open the program's menu and go to Skins – Edit skin font, but apparently the new settings are not saved when you exit the program.

In any case, this little Christmas tree is a funny widget for your desktop that will help you get in the mood for these days – although nothing like the real thing. Excuse me now, I'm off to set my Christmas tree at home.

This holiday season ecorate your desktop with this cute Christmas tree companion.

Oska DeskMate is an interactive cartoon character who lives on your Windows desktop. Traditional animation techniques are the basis for our DeskMate characters. The Free Oska download contains 4 general animation sequences and a few of Oska's touch reaction sequences. The fully registered version of Oska, which is Only $29.95, has in excess of 14,000 individual hand drawn cels. This equates to literally hundreds of individual animated sequences which includes a total of 46 touch reaction sequences. These touch sequences are activated if you touch Oska or move him around the screen with your mouse.

When you leave Oska alone he will amuse himself and will randomly select one of the animations from about half of his library. After you click on Oska and activate his touch reactions he will then perform an animation selected from the other half of his library. We did this so that he will continue to do things you have not seen before for a long time after you buy him.
