Up On The Housetop ..., January 4, 2009
I do wish a few extra commands were supported, especially those that rewarded exploration. It’s not terribly important that PUT PRESENTS UNDER TREE isn’t understood (since the required method is easy to figure out), but it would have been cool to get festive (or even silly) responses to my attempts to chat with Rudolph, pet the family dog, or even (I'm such a Grinch) steal the tree.
IF vets won’t find any challenge here, but it’s a pleasant couple of minutes. There is no heavy narrative, no mystery to uncover, and no serious danger to face. There are a few cute moments, and then it’s all done.

Up On The Housetop ..., January 4, 2009by Ghalev (Colorado)
This is a very brief, cheerful introductory IF, and the object is simple enough: you’re Santa Claus, atop your last house. Deliver the goods and you’re done for the year. This little confection can be completed in less than a dozen turns if you’re in a hurry to get back to the North Pole, and there are barely any puzzles to speak of: just a couple of straightforward obstacles with clear solutions. This (and the game’s family-friendly tone) makes the game suitable for even very young players. I do wish a few extra commands were supported, especially those that rewarded exploration.

My 10 year old twins recently "discovered" IF. They fell in love with Grunk and are asking for more games to play. I've searched BAF and have some ideas, but figured I would give this poll a shot since there are hundreds and hundreds of...
IF that centers around holidays by Molly
I'm looking for IF that centers around specific real-world holidays, e.g. Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, Passover, the Fourth of July, Guy Fawkes Day, Halloween, etc.
