On Christmas, you can see it in action on my talk page. The magic is actually in User talk:Davidwr/header, with the line
{{#ifeq:{{is now|format string=m-d|at1=12-25}}|1|{{User:Davidwr/The Night Before Wikimas (top)}} }}
Since it's not Christmas year-round, here's what it looks like in action, with a minor change to avoid creating a new section.
- T'was The Night Before Wikimas
'Twas the night before Wikimas, when all through the Teahouse
Not an editor was stirring, not even a mouse.
The references had been inserted by users with care,
In hopes that St. Jimbo[who?] soon would be there.
Most editors were nestled all snug by their beds,
While visions of new articles danced in their heads.
When out from a keyboard there arose such a clatter
I sprang to my screen to see what was the matter.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a question on sources and how to use them well here.
