Christmas Challenge - May Your Days be Merry and Bright

Christmas wrapping

 

Brightening up your blog for Christmas may need the services of stock photo sites. There are plenty of sites offering free Christmas images and clipart but it is hard to find your way through popup ads and flashing glittery images (that is not intended for Christmas) to find something useful.

For Christmas Clipart, hellasmultimedia.com has a large selection of images, lines and borders and Clipart Guide has almost 500 images. Microsoft Office clip art library is always worth a look at for simple clipart.

If you want to easily add some graphics to Christmas Newsletters try one of the free Christmas Dingbat fonts. The one below is from Winter Yawns.

I also get my Christmas holidays images and graphics from MO clip art. I particularly like your header images - very colorful and attractive. Hopefully, we will all have the Merriest of Christmas this 2008!

all i know is that this x-mas is going to a different one… probably one with more meaning, with the economy as it is and jobless family members. hopefully i can get through all the snow falling out here :/
