Christmasify Chrome Extension

A bit of fun for the Codebar Brighton chapter Christmas show and tell on December 17th 2019. Add some Christmas tat to any website. Includes animated snowfall and boughs of holly.

I've provided plenty of comments in the source code if you're interested in having a rummage.

Note that there are two JavaScript files for this extension: content.js and background.js which communicate via messages due to the way the Chrome extension API works.

Enjoy!
