Happy Birthday Lauren

"Happy Birthday, Lauren!" is a message that appears in Halo 3 as an easter egg. The message appears only when the date is set to December 25.
==Walkthrough==
#If the current date is not December 25, set it to December 25 from the console dashboard while disconnected from Xbox Live.
#Load Halo 3 and start a Campaign mission.
#Once the loading screen begins, hold down both thumbsticks. You should see the view of the Halo ring pan out, making the message appear.
Launching Halo 3 from the disc instead of from the hard drive will make the mission take longer to load, which will give more time to see the message before it goes away.

*The Easter Egg was first found, or at the very least documented, after YouTube user Lord Zedd posted a video about it.YouTube - Halo 3 - "Happy Birthday, Lauren!" Load Screen Easter Egg
