What is Is It Christmas??
Is It Christmas? is one of the internet's longest running joke websites, made by developer Eric Mill (@konklone). It does exactly one thing: it tells you whether today is Christmas, in big letters, in the language of the country you are visiting from.
On 364 days a year the answer is a plain no, such as NO, NON or TIDAK. On Christmas Day it turns to YES. Part of the fun is that you are not alone: other visitors show up as small country flags that follow their mouse pointers around the page in real time, so you can see people from all over the world checking the same thing.
