In this post I have a very cool Snow Falling Effect With Bells widget. You can use to super charge your blog over the Christmas. With just a small piece of code you have Snow Flakes gently falling down your blog. Adding Snow Falling Effect With Bells is very simple and I’m sure it won’t disrupt the readers. Before you add the Snow to your blog you can check out the demo.
