Free Christmas Stock Photos
The Christmas is coming and Christmas decorations are being prepared. However, it’s not only time to spice up your living environment: your designs could use a bit of the Christmas spirit as well. A week ago our readers asked us to release a set of Christmas-related stock photos; so when a couple of days later Min Thu dropped us an e-mail suggesting to provide us with some Christmas stock photos, we just had to do it.
So, as requested, in this post we are glad to release Christmas Stock Photos Set, a set of 60 original Christmas-related photos in JPG in the resolution 2500×1666px. This set was created by Min Thu especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers.

Download the photos 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. The set may not be resold, sublicensed or otherwise made available for download. Please link to this article if you want to spread the word.

December 20th, 2009 11:32 amNice Christmas spirit…you should have started your comments with “Bah Humbug”. If you can’t be nice, be quiet.
Thanks Smashing Magazine and Min Thu – Merry Christmas

December 21st, 2009 4:41 amHey, I just said that there are great – just that maybe it would’ve been better to release them a week or 2 early.
And regarding Christmas spirit you should check yours. You started to criticize my comment without a reason.
Have fun this winter SM and a productive New Year. Cheers!

In fact, SM team really wanted to release it since last week as they told me about this set but we do not know behind the scene of SM, they seem to be very busy doing a lot of great stuffs for their readers. Even the Smashing book was delayed for a few months, wasn’t it? :) Anyway, we like SM no matter what!

December 21st, 2009 6:00 amThank you so much for sharing these. As with many other free things in life, I will store them away until the need arises for them. In any case, your generosity is appreciated.

December 22nd, 2009 11:26 pmThe pictures cheered me up in what seems to be a lonely day in the office, a day prior to Christmas eve, with so many colleagues already on vacation.
Many thanks to Min Thu and Smashing Mag for sharing these in true Christmas spirit!
Merry Christmas & a Happy 2010 to all!
