I wouldn't want to recommend anything in particular. Employers are all different. But if you decide to walk in, you could say:

1) I was wondering if you received the resume I sent a couple of days ago. Could you check?

2) Do you know when HR will be making a decision?

3) I might be leaving town over the holidays and I would really like to find out more about the job before I leave. Can I meet HR briefly now?

4) I sent in my resume by email as the ad suggested, but I'd also like to drop off this letter of recommendation. It's stapled to the back of this hard copy of my resume.

5) Please give HR this xmas card and bribe. (ummm, just kidding).

I really like options 1 and 3 ( and 5 as well :P ). I think I'll slip in this week to say "howdy" and see what happens. It'll also give me a chance to get decent impression of the place beyond what I can find out by searching online too.
