Very Nice!
Looks like you decided to get a jumpstart on the Christmas 2007 Collection.... Before it's even been created!
Reviews for "Christmas Decoration Sim"
YipEe
makes me happy...
good
nice small game.good,possibly basic graphics.
continue to make more flash!
Good.
For a start, it is quite good. But, there are some things that this flash lacks, but those things can easily be implemented easily, I'm sure of it. Firstly, you should have more variety in this 'game'. The first thing you should add in, and it would actually help keep the entire thing tidy, is a rectangular, possibly transparent 'bar' that holds all the items you can put on the tree. The objects on this bar can be scrollable if you wish, it's all up to you. Secondly, you should allow the user to pick their size of tree, colour of the tree and background images. Thirdly, you should really consider putting in a 'print' button for those 'kiddies' who may come by this game. They'll want to print their image out and hang it up on their walls, so adding this feature would be pretty great.
All in all, it was pretty great. Other then what I mentioned above, it's a great layout. All you need to do now, is add more features to the game, and 'perfect' anything you can. Keep up the good work, PM me when you've released the newer version of the game, so I can give possibly more criticism.

Well...
I like how cleverly hidden the "Quality Toggle option" is in the first room.
What I liked:
+ 3 for good use of music: All of them had a good mix of "cheery" and "festive"
+ 1 for the space conserving ornaments: It was a good idea placing the identical items on top of each other as apposed to next to each other.
+ 2 for the multiple backgrounds
+ 2 because you can turn on or off the animated menu lights, that was cool.
What I didn't like:
- 1 because the text explaining what the buttons along the lower left hand corner do was really hard for me to read.
...
Total rating: 7/10. In other words: nice, cheery, but not as good as it could be.
...
Possible improvement:
1. Try using a color pallet of pastels; the sharp contrasting colors made my eyes ach after a while.
2. Have the buttons beep or cast shadows (or something) when your mouse hovers over them, at first I thought that all my mouse-clicking was not registering.
3. Give the button explanations a dark outline; It was hard for me to see what they said without leaning forward and squinting.
4. For a better sense of depth, add some shadows and lighting variation to the objects in the room.
5. I do like the window in the first screen, but it could also benefit from a little animated snow fall.

Thank you, this was a fun little game to play.
