Awaiting human review. Do not auto-merge. Per #240, only a human approves and merges seasonal designs.

Refs #240 (not "fixes": the issue is closed by hand after review).

Before and after renders (desktop and Pixel 7, light and dark, reduced motion, animation frames, header close-ups): https://claude.ai/artifact/RVSexdTiPa891kWvENyA2S. The page is private to Jared.

Changes (Christmas.tsx, Christmas.css.ts only)

Garland: the string lights are now a wire in shallow scallops with small bulbs hanging from it, all inside the top ~16 px.
- The old bokeh orbs covered the phone's back and search icons; phone header icons start ~18 px down.
- One repeating 600 px SVG tile; two bulb sets twinkle alternately, animating opacity only.
Snow: each flake has a white core and a blue-grey rim, so it shows on light themes, where it was invisible. Six six-armed crystals drift in front.
Haze: the frost vignette and the dark bottom rim are gone, so the composer area is no longer greyed on light.
Reduced motion: a static garland and a still scatter of snow.

Checks

tsc and eslint are clean.
Renders reviewed at 1440×900 and Pixel 7, light and dark, reduced motion, and frames at 5, 10 and 15 s.
Only transform and opacity are animated, and nothing renders when the theme is off (unchanged).

- String lights are a real garland: a wire in shallow scallops with small
  bulbs hanging from it, all within the top ~16px so they stay above header
  icons and text (the old bokeh orbs covered the phone back/search icons).
  One repeating SVG tile; two bulb sets twinkle alternately (opacity only).
- Snow has a white core plus a blue-grey rim, so it shows on light themes
  (it was invisible) as well as dark; six-armed crystals drift in front.
- The frost vignette is gone and the bottom wash is lighter, so the composer
  area is no longer greyed on light themes.
- Reduced motion: static garland and a still scatter of snow.
