Where to find the best free Christmas clip art

With Christmas almost upon us you may be scouring the net trying to find the perfect Christmas themed graphics, clip art, or images for your website. But where do you go to find good quality Christmas related clip art when so many of the images are cheesy or badly designed?

The recent ‘Definitive guide to free Christian clip art’ post from this blog is a good starting point. However a lot of these may not have great Christmas clip art (or any at all) depending on their focus.

The websites shown below are the best places on the internet I could find for Christmas clip art. Stock Exchange and Flickr tend to be more aimed at the social aspect of Christmas whereas the other websites are more likely to have nativity images. This is not a definitive rule though and there is some cross over so you may want to browse through all of the websites!

• Stock Exchange:
  With around 1,000 photos just related to Christmas you are likely to find what something you like here. The quality is also very high as all pictures are vetted before they are added to Stock Exchange.
• Flickr:
  There are 42,000 images tagged with Christmas, but the quality is not high as on Stock Exchange. Check out Skellie’s post to learn how to find the best pictures on Flickr.
• ChristArt:
  This is a great site, although there are only 22 Christmas images. They are good quality though and include the first image on this post.
• Pick and Print Gallery:
  This website has some good hand drawn clip art. Scroll down the sidebar to find the various Christmas sections.
• Gospel Gifs:
  There is a whole page of Christmas clip art on this website which makes it easy to browse. I particularly like the star and manger clip art which comes in a variety of colours.

Hopefully these websites will help you find the perfect clip art for Christmas! Do you know of any other websites that have good Christmas clip art?
