Why not put a small JavaScript in the head of your document that will load
a second stylesheet in addition to the usual one? If the JavaScript is
external to the HTML page, then you can update it anytime you'd like
without having to make any further changes to your HTML pages.
If the user's browser doesn't support JavaScript, they'll only lose the
seasonal look, but not the primary stylesheet.
The script could be as simple as this pseudo-code:
-- get date
-- if between oct 5 and dec 31, cfile=Christmas.css
-- if between jan 1 and feb 14, cfile=valentines.css
-- if between feb 15 and oct 4, cfile=almostChristmas.css
-- if june 3, cfile=schoolsout.css
-- if cfile.css is not empty, load cfile.css
