I'm new to python, I can't tell if this will work or not
<pre><code>import time
varthing = 1
while varthing == 1:
    time.sleep(60)
    checker = time.strftime("%b, %d", time.localtime())
    if checker == "Dec, 25" :
        print "It's Christmas"
        raw_input("Enter anything to close\n")
        varthing = 0 
</code></pre>

<p>It works from what I can tell, but It's hard to test if this will work long-term.</p>
