With the My Christmas Tree app, you can customize your personal and animated Christmas tree. And add the Christmas decorations you want to see, such as Christmas cards, balls, bows, stockings, and Christmas lights. You can also add a Christmas Tree widget to your home screen and notification panel. That is very handy for seeing the countdown of how many days it is until Christmas Eve or the entire day before Christmas Day. It is built for iPhone, iPhone Pro, iPad, iPad Air, iPad Mini, and iPad Pro. It is the ideal entertainment tool to enjoy the Christmas season at home and anywhere in the world. Merry Christmas! Whether it is just the 12 days of Christmas, or you are more than 60 days early. You will be notified of how many days are left. In the small widget, you will see it at the top right of your widget. And for the medium widget, on the right of your Christmas tree, you will see the countdown to when it is Christmas. What is Christmas? Christmas was traditionally a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus, but in the early 20th century, it also became a secular family holiday, observed by Christians and non-Christians alike. The secular holiday is often devoid of Christian elements, with the mythical figure Santa Claus playing the pivotal role. He lives in a winter wonderland at the North Pole. Why is Christmas celebrated? Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. The unique features of this high-quality app: ◆ Customize your tree in the app and widget with dark green, light green, white, or pink colors ◆ Change the tree blinking light color ◆ Change the color of the bows ◆ Change the color of the stockings ◆ Option to change the widget background to solid, gradient, image, or transparent ◆ Option to let it snow on the Christmas tree page ◆ Option to show you the days left until Christmas Day (with the option to count to 24 or 25 December) Your Christmas Countdown is ready to go. Now we must wait and sing this song. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...
