Biggest opportunity: Swap “decorations” for “santa”. “decorations” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “santa” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 33.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,774 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Excellente extension. Elle est facile à manier et elle fonctionne très bien. Une suggestion. Cela serait extraordinaire si dans une nouvelle version on avait l’option de séparer les textes des décorations, de manière que l’utilisateur puisse incorporer ses propres textes, dans son lange. En tout cas, merci de votre travail.
