Neat Christmas & Holiday Wallpaper: Roundup of Sources

Time to Dress Your Desktop with Christmas Wallpapers

Make being stuck at your computer working a bit more enjoyable by dressing it up for the holiday. There are plenty of Christmas wallpapers or graphic, to add as desktop backgrounds. Below are some of my favorites–availabe for Windows 7, Vista and XP users.

Remember to be careful when downloading anything from the internet. Downloads could contain spyware, adware or other types of malware. This is possible if you are downloading an executable file that should put decors on your desktop.

Animated Fireplace with Christmas Stockings

This is my favorite Christmas wallpaper because it has a warm Christmas spirit, thanks to the animated fireplace and candles with Christmas stockings. The smoke from the fireplace is also animated. However, it is not free to use. You need to have a registered license of DeskScapes from Stardock.com’s WinCustomize website. If you are using DeskScapes, you already know that there are thousands of wallpapers to choose from.

Another option lets you drag it anywhere on your desktop to change the location of the Christmas tree.
