holiday desktop wallpapers2004.12.10

I am continually frustrated every year by the lack of pretty, simple, Christmas wallpapers on the web. Why is it so hard to get pretty desktops?

Anyway, this year, tired of my frustrations, I decided to make a few of my own. Feel free to download; I'd prefer they only be distributed through angiemckaig.com, however. And each of the images is only available in 1152 x 864 because, well, that's the size of my desktop. Sorry. :)

Who knows? Maybe this will inspire the other designers among my peers (not to mention those with far better designs skills than I) to put finger to mouse and make some other yummy holiday desktops! Who will take up the challenge?

Nutcracker Sweets	Pink Ball
Retro Memories	Green Ball
Peppermint Twist	Rudolph
Christmas Trees

Update, December 2006: Since I now use a widescreen desktop, I decided to update some of these to accomodate 1920 x 1200 resolution. You'll also find a few new ones, all widescreen. Here's the new christmas wallpapers.

Ohh for goodness sakes!!!

Is there NO end to your talents!

Seriously, though, these are ace. You gonna put them on deviantart or something? (save your hosting bills)

Thanks Gordon! Unless the downloading goes insane, no, I don't imagine there will be any need to put them on Deviant Art (I have a crazy amount of bandwidth with my hosting account).

I do hope, though, that I can convince a few others (perhaps Cameron and/or Andrei, for example... hint hint, boys) to play along as well. My little playtime in Photoshop this afternoon just wouldn't compare to what those two could come up with.

I love them! You should definitely make more desktops.

Oh, and just in case you don't know of it, I like the desktops over at Vlad Studios: http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpapers/

You should add more wallpapers I think and make them into desktops as that geeky perosn said.

The most important thing is knowing. Everything will work out if you just remember to breathe. Chocolate is not for sharing. Beauty is everywhere if you just remember to look for it. Perfection is impossible but improvement can happen every single day. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. Make a wish. Dance when the music moves you. If it's hard to say, odds are it's what the listener most needs to hear. Wear a new colour. Do that thing that scares you. Love as often as possible.
