The holiday season is a time of joy. It is brought into our lives through the gifts we give and receive. And it should be fun. Over the years, we've seen a lot of great holiday and winter-themed games come and go, and here we are to suggest a few to give you all some festive cheer.

• Grow Ornament - Decorate a Christmas tree in the classic, eyezmaze style. Depending on what order you add ornaments and decorations, the tree will grow differently. Use a combination of trial-and-error along with logic to find the right order and make the perfect tree.
• Winterbells - An Orisinal game that is guaranteed to make your heart all warm and fuzzy. Hop on the falling bells and see how high in the sky you can go.
• Gift Wrapped - Around this time last year, Nitrome popped out their first mini-game. This game requires you to quickly match the gift-wrapped packages to the presents within.
• Bellman Stars - A delightful holiday Flash game to get into the Christmas spirit. Decorate the trees by dropping stars from above and landing them on the tree tops. Simply click on a star at just the right moment for it to fall onto a tree or a present. Simple holiday fun.
• Snowman Salvage - Don't let those snowmen melt! The premise of this game is simple—click your snowmen to make them grow—but as a wide variety of enemies begin to make your snowman melt, the action heats up to turbo speed.
• Snowrider - It is beginning to look and feel a lot like Chrismahanukwanzakah up here in the northeast, with snow accumulations that guarantee many of us a beautiful white Christmas this year. And with all the snow we've been getting, it would be an excellent time to build a snowman, or simply stay indoors and play this charming Flash game instead.
• Snow Plow Game - Take to the streets in this Snow Plow game and help the city of Boston clean up after a Nor-easter snow storm. It's your job to plow the streets clean by taking control of a city plow. Collect snowflakes and presents for bonuses. A cute and fun little seasonal Flash game.
• Make-A-Flake - Who hasn't enjoyed the simple pleasures of cutting paper into snowflakes on a cold winter day? With Make-a-Flake there is no mess to clean-up and you can even undo cuts gone wrong. This Flash toy is a fun way to express your creativity and get into the spirit of the holiday season.
• SnowDays - Another simple snowflake maker that is very easy to use. Cut designs into a paper snowflake with a flick of the mouse—making your snowflake as simple or ornate as you like. Plus, the snowflakes people have made can be seen falling within the game itself—and you can even leave comments on other people's snowflakes.
