The Holiday season is upon us, which is rather jolly indeed. No, that's not cynicism, but actually sincere - it's a time of year when we can spend more time with family and friends, and either go all in with gift buying and giving or simply hand over the gift of our precious time. Don't offer 'time' to all loved ones, though, they might think you're cheap rather than charming.
Anyway, Nintendo's getting into the spirit with an early batch of festive 3DS HOME Themes in Japan; we suspect at least one will make its way to the West at some point. The main one is a Mario Bros. effort, which even has a nice jingly version of the first game's theme.
Fans of Numuneko (sleepy cats) will also like the following theme that's out today in Japan.
Will you be grabbing any festive 3DS HOME Themes to get into the spirit this year?

Wouldn't mind if Ninty gave us a gift that was a free theme, especially if it's a Christmas theme, just a thought though.
Much nicer than the last Christmas theme at that, which was very red and green.
I recognise those stock graphics of Mario and Luigi holding the presents from somewhere too.
For free? Little gift from Nintendo?
Japan gets the best themes and none of them leave it
@RupeeClock yep. The "Mario bearing a gift" picture was used in the birthday e-cards i got from Club Nintendo.
I think a healthy dose of cynicism is welcome. One of the Simpsons once said something like, "Christmas is the time of year when people of all faiths come together to celebrate the birth of consumerism". Or it might have been the birth of TV. Christmas is also the time of year when we are forced to meet up with or otherwise contact people we do not speak to during the rest of the year because we don't really like them. I'd like a theme for that, please.
