Lorem Ipsum: Christmas Mode
Stress-test page for Gwern.net Christmas theme.
Christmas Mode is a Gwern.net easter egg theme: when visiting this test page, or for web browsers with an English language locale which visit Gwern.net on Christmas (defined as 24 December after 6PM local time, or on 25 December all day), Christmas mode will be automatically activated in both dark & light mode. It is also used on the poem page “A Christmas Protestation”.
Christmas Mode currently consists of randomized Christmas dropcap logos (available selection: dark mode n = 5, light mode n = 6), green outlining on block elements & links, alternating red/green list markers, and rubricated dropcaps.
Intended appearance screenshot.
If the logo is small, your screen may be too narrow to allow it to ‘pop out’.
Increase browser screen width or zoom out.
To enable site-wide, use the browser JS console: toggleSpecialOccasionTest("christmas", true); & reload.

Margin note 2. Waltz, nymph, for quick jigs vex Bud. Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow! Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. Glib jocks quiz nymph to vex dwarf. Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz. The five boxing wizards jump quickly. How vexingly quick daft zebras jump! Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim. Two driven jocks help fax my big quiz. The jay, pig, fox, zebra and my wolves quack! Sympathizing would fix Quacker objectives. A wizard’s job is to vex chumps quickly in fog. Watch Jeopardy!, Alex Trebek’s fun TV quiz game. By Jove, my quick study of lexicography won a prize! Waxy and quivering, jocks fumble the pizza.
With tenure, Suzie’d have all the more leisure for yachting, but her publications are no good. Shaw, those twelve beige hooks are joined if I patch a young, gooey mouth. Are those shy Eurasian footwear, cowboy chaps, or jolly earthmoving headgear? The beige hue on the waters of the loch impressed all, including the French queen, before she heard that symphony again, just as young Arthur wanted.
