It's the most wonderful time of the year. Which also means it's the right time of year to use one of the lesser known features inside of Showit… Snowit!

Snowit is a feature that was added to Showit Desktop in 2009 as a fun widget Showit users (better known as Showiteers) could utilize during the Christmas season to make it appear that it is snowing on their sites.

Snowit is still alive and well and ready to be added to your Showit site! You'll find Snowit inside of the widget library. Once you've added Snowit to your site (and you can choose to add it to the entire site or just to a specific page), you can adjust the settings for the widget including snowflake count, size and speed.

We noticed this week that several Showiteers are getting into the holiday spirit and have already added Snowit to their sites for the season.

Check out Vancouver Wedding Photographer Justine Russo who recently redesigned her own site and added Snowit for the holiday season. www.justine-russo.com

And UK Family & Child Photographer Nadia Swindell's gorgeous site www.nadiaswindell.com.

Sisters Emily and Elizabeth of Emmazing Photography also have Snowit on their gorgeous site which is a stylegroup designed by Showit Design Partner Melissa Love. Check it out at www.emmazingphotography.com.

Finally, Australian Gold Coast fine art film photographer Casey Jane also has it gently sprinkling snow on her site at www.caseyjanephotography.com.au
