Festive but Productive December Desktop

Reader reb wanted something festive to dress up her Windows desktop this December, so she used a combination of visual tweaks and strategic customizations to add both holiday cheer and productivity tools to it. Reb lists what she's got going on here:

To do, homework, weather, Bible verse, and system monitoring widgets: Samurize
Application launcher: RocketDock (usually on Autohide)
Wallpaper: Winter Walls 2 by ikue
Visual style: Holly Jolly by lassekongo83
Dock icons: Christmas icons 2007 by gakuseisean

If you haven't done it before, here's how to use custom Windows visual styles. Got a nifty desktop setup to show off? Add it to the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell group, and be sure to list what's what. Nice work, reb!
