Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This 3D screensaver shows a snowman's Christmas in a forest clearing, with a tree trimmed with candles and topped with a star. Presents wait under the tree as snow falls and tiny sprites spread colored pixie dust. The wind whistles as the camera rotates around the hopping snowman and its tree. After an eerie version of "Silent Night" plays, the Christmas tree lights and the pixie dust fades, and a watermark appears in the lower right corner while a church organ works through a medley of Christmas tunes. Read the license carefully, because right at the top it mentions that Christmas Tree Screensaver installs a tracking application, which thankfully seems to uninstall cleanly when you uninstall the program. People who prefer a solemn holiday rather than a merry one will likely enjoy this Santa-free celebration of the season.Publisher's description
From Shortcut Software Development :Enjoy the true Christmas spirit with this screensaver. Imagine: Presents under the tree, just waiting to be unwrapped. It's very cold outside, it's snowing, and you get shivers down your spine just thinking about the wind. You are sitting in front of the warm fireplace sipping your favorite drink. You have friends and family crowding your place, creating a warm environment. After unwrapping the presents, you can look forward to the warm Christmas meal that awaits you. That is what this screensaver is all about: the true spirit of Christmas. The screensaver brings you a sparkling Christmas tree, full with candles, Christmas balls, sparkling lights, and other enjoyable eye candy. When you look under the tree, you see it packed with presents, guaranteeing a happy Christmas. This screensaver comes with a beautiful medley of Christmas carols.

Version: Christmas Tree Screensaver 1.06
"3D Screensaver Brings Holiday Cheer, yet, Sluggish"
Pros: This screensaver does have some nice 3D graphics and ambient music. The sparkle of the falling snow and the fairies brings you right into the holiday spirit. Also, options allow users to turn off sound, adjust resolution, increase camera movement, or even add more sparkle fairies! Great work.
Cons: Since this screensaver is in 3D it tends to be a bit of a heavy burden for any system. If you run a lot of applications and leave them open, this program will surely crash any older computers and give a bit of a challenge to newer ones. Only run this if your computer is literally "idle" without open programs. Not recommended for older PC's.
