It’s Christmas Day, and I can’t think of a better way to waste a chunk of it than by playing IconNicholson’s holiday ecard Flash game, Snowcraft.

I’ll take a virtual snowball fight over a real one any day — less cold and wet and miserable. Plus I love that snippet of “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” wild-west theme music between rounds.

You can go to the interactive agency’s source page, or else experience this vintage version as embedded below. Have a Merry!

EDIT: Sorry, it didn’t register that the applet obnoxiously autostarts, with sound. I blame the eggnog. I tinkered with the embed code, but doesn’t look like there’s a way to kill either the autostart nor the sound. So just click through the links if you want to play.
