IsXmas checks to see whether the current day is either Christmas or Christmas Eve.

truth game::IsXMas() // returns true if date is christmaseve or day 
{ 
  time_t Time = time(0); 
  struct tm* TM = localtime(&Time); 
  return (TM->tm_mon == 11 && (TM->tm_mday == 24 || TM->tm_mday == 25)); 
} 

Use

Currently IsXmas is only used to give the player a gift of a banana when they start the game:

if(IsXMas()) 
{ 
  item* Present = banana::Spawn(); 
  Player->GetStack()->AddItem(Present); 
  ADD_MESSAGE("Atavus is happy today! He gives you %s.", Present->CHAR_NAME(INDEFINITE)); 
} 

IsXmas could be easily used to modify other events in game though, such as spawning christmas lights in Attnam or similar.
