Assuming that he means to switch the styles based on Todays date, and not the 
article date, why not just have a bunch of stylesheets like spring.css, 
summer.css, ramadan.css, etc, and just copy the appropriate one to site.css 
(or whatever your pages reference).

You could even set up a bunch of cron jobs to change them based on time of day 
etc.

This also means you can stick with static pages and save some CPU time.
