* Description *
Xmas is a mod that replaces everything in Half-Life to reflect the feels of christmas, in a (more or less) violent and more comical way. I also made it to prove myself that i could, especially after the demise of my previous mod "Alpine" that some of you may remember/hear of. Well now it's moved on to it's own engine, but we still have a long way too go. But Half-Life has and always will have a place in my heart, hence the purpose of Xmas.

* Construction *
Base                    : Scratch
Editor(s) used          : Hammer 3.4, PSP 7, PhotoShop 5 and Milkshape 3D, 3d studio max r2.5
Build Time              : A very.. very... very... very... very... very... long time! (A few months to be honest!)

* Instructions *

1. The files should be unzipped to a directory called "xmas" in your Half-Life directory.
2. Start Half-Life, select "custom game", choose Xmas and press ACTIVATE.
3. Enjoy the show!

You can also make a new shortcut for the mod with the xmas icon present in the Xmas folder.

* Thanks *
