I love me some Christmas carts, though unfortunately I didn't get into the game until the 2010 cart. Here's a pic of what I've got. I don't do boxes so I never picked any of those up. I also included my ASM 2012 Christmas Card on Gameboy and my reproduction of Super Mario Bros. 2 Christmas Edition that I had made for myself and a friend before I got into the 8-bit christmas carts. I designed the label myself (though it's now the one Coinheaven uses) and the cart is red on the front half and green on the back. My friends' is green on the front and red on the back.
Just thought I'd post this over here too. Here is my meager collection of Christmas themed homebrews, soon to be joined by Xmas 2014. I couldn't help but slurge on the giant ROB poster. I also got some Atari stuff as well...

Those Atari games look cool. How's the gameplay on them?

Stella's Stocking is a fun little collection of minigames along with a title screen that plays Christmas music much like the RetroUSB releases.
From AtariAge:
"Stella's Stocking was the 2007 AtariAge Holiday Cart and now it's available again in case you missed it the first time around! Stella's Stocking isn't one, but FIVE different games! A large team of programmers, artists and designers worked hard to create a very unique offering on the 2600. From the moment you fire up Stella's Stocking you'll realize you have something special. To cram five different games into this cartridge, along with a menu that features quite possibly the best music ever heard in a 2600 game, we created a new 64K board just for this release! This is the first (and presently only) 64K Atari 2600 game that we've published."
Toyshop Trouble is a game where all the elves got lazy and went on strike. You franticly try to paint toys in a toyshop to meet the deadline. It is a reissue of the AA 2006 holiday cart, now available for purchase year round.
Reindeer Rescue is a fast side scrolling platformer where you have to jump obstacles as Santa Clause and find the Reindeer. Hit the left edge of the screen and it's game over. It was originally released as the AA 2005 holiday cart, now available for purchase year round.
Kinda nice that AtariAge decided to reissue all their old holiday carts. The originals were also numbered and I think the reissues have different artwork. I started colecting Atari in 2012 so these would be unobtainium otherwise. Brian will never do that but I'm kind of glad Albert (of AtariAge) did.
Lastly, Endless Snow is a 4k Homebrew by Rudy J. Ferretti where you have to shovel snow in a driveway while dodging lethal snowflakes. To avoid hypothermia, you must colect a coffee mug on the windowsill or hug your wife when she appears in the doorway. It was released in November 2013. Only 60 carts were produced.

Post a pic whenever you can and then a mod can give you the Xmas icon.

Just ordered one of these sexy beasts with all the trimmings.
Can't wait until Bunny unleashes the game on the rest of the world this Holiday Season so I can marry the game with the box!
