Do you want to create a banner but not to paste it from other page or not to hire programmer to design you one? If you want to create appropriate atmosphere and design personalized banner which will be only yours, than you should use your own postcards or pictures from holidays.
Find a few photographs from your family album or from holidays with friends. Even old postcards can serve the purpose if you scan them and crop them trough Photoshop. Upload photographs on your computer. Open Photoshop or Paint and then use crop tool from chosen application to format them in correct dimension for banner. Then enhance colors with filters and effects to make a nice representation of holiday spirit. Add text and greetings. Texts should be simple and inviting. Save all images in gif format.
Use gif creator and merge images in some reasonable sequence and try to choose slower rate so visitors can observe them and read text on each snapshot. Add some effects and blinks. Holidays are all about blinks and decorations and your friends will love it. Load images on your picture host.
Use simple html editor and insert table with a few columns and rows and center entire page right in beginning. Merge first row of cells, open source mode and place embed code of gif image on it. Then, under image, in additional cells you can put some information or advertisements or anything that makes you happy, even a holiday recopies with pictures.
Use set of product lines connected to holiday and place it under gif image. This option is for shops and stores so visitors can choose from bigger number of products and make sure that a few are on discount. In this way you can always sell credits and invite guests to events or make a quiz and share gifts. It is very well accepted by buyers. Also, to improve the whole effect you can paste contact form and live chat box somewhere close and make a note that customers or family can contact you directly from form or chat box and communicate with real live person trough it and not a bot.
Note
Make sure that your contact banner is size almost as a 60 present of your page so it can't be missed. Also make sure that chat line is open and everything works perfectly. When your guest starts to arrive you should greet them in proper way and on time before they exit. With a live contact you have a greater chance to sell products and if you are planning to take a chance and make a family site and invite distant friends to visit you, be prepared to unwanted guest so be careful and decide if you really want live chat in your web page because it means that anybody can chat with you and disturb you while you are working with real live customers.
Warning:
If you start to have a big problem with spammers it will be the best to block your chat for a while and report cyber bulling. All hosts even free one have tools which will assure you can conduct your business safely. If your blog or page is personal make sure that only limited circle of people can enter it or specify email addresses and simply invited people to see your blog. In that way you will get rid of spam but still do your job and contact customers and friends.
