Free Smashing Christmas Icon Set
Christmas is coming and, of course, it’s just the right time to provide you with some nice freebies to fresh up your designs. To celebrate the holidays, our friends from IconEden designed “Smashing Christmas”, a free icon set, dedicated to the design community and released especially for Smashing Magazine’s readers. The set contains 39 beautiful, well-crafted icons with warm and welcoming color scheme.
All icons are designed in 3 different style: realistic 3D style, simple shape style and button style – hence the icons are extremely versatile. This set is available in both vector and pixel format and available for free download and use.
Download the icon set for free!
You can use the set for all of your projects for free and without any restrictions. You can freely use it for both your private and commercial projects, including software, online services, templates and themes. Please link to this article if you want to spread the word.

(Another) Smashing Christmas Icon Set
The Russian design studio SoftFacade has chosen a quite unusual approach in design of the Christmas icons set. They put a lot of efforts to come up with some really unusual approach. While the icons exhibit designers’ close attention to the smallest details, they are also very colorful and can be used to decorate your weblog according to the Christmas theme.
The set includes 10 icons — RSS, Shopping cart, Portfolio, Comment, Links, User, Calendar, Contacts, Social networks and Print. The icons are available in resolutions 64×64px, 128×128px and as illustrations in formats .png and .ico.

Sorry to spam these comments, but it appears that the CSS styling of the front page of SM is broken (at least in IE 7.0). I can only find the CSS back when reading a past article.

Am I the only one to have no style in this page ? The textbox is so narrow that I can barely see what I’m writing. And when I look at the source code, what I see in the tag where the CSS is normallly linked is a freakin’ weird URL with a bunch of stylesheet links in a single attribute, while they must normally be in separate link tags. Because of that, the style doesn’t load whatever the browser used to navigate here. And most of all, because of this style problem, it took me more than 5 minutes to figure out where’s the submit button !
Hoping that the admin or webmaster will see my comment and fix this very annoy8ing problem.
