There is currently a contest going on over at http://www.3dbuzz.com to write a game with a Christmas game.
I’ve never written a game before, so thought I would use the opportunity to do some learning and submit an entry. I chose the Microsoft XNA Framework using Game Studio Express (Beta 2).
Here is stage 1 of my progress, which was purely a test of getting sprites on to the screen, and to have them moving independently in respect of direction and speed.

XNA Definately is a nice thing to use here for this challenge since it allows you to set something up within a short amount of time relatively easily. By time X-Mas arrives you should be able to have created something nice coding-wise, graphics and sound is probably going to be the harder part :).
