Christmas Clipart and Graphics for the Winter Holidays

This page contains links to clipart for Christmas or the winter holidays. It also contains suggestions for using the clip art and for modifying it in image editing software.

Christmas clipart is a great way to bring glad tidings and cheer to your web pages, your email messages, your Christmas letters and cards, your holiday ornaments and decorations, your table settings and to the craft projects that you make with your kids.

This page shows you where to find clipart of all varieties -- fun, inspirational, cute, religious, elegant, traditional or whatever type you want. Some of it is free and some has a price tag attached.

Of course, this applies to Winter Holiday clipart as well, since not everyone celebrates Christmas.

I am also going to show you how to modify and edit your Christmas clipart digitally using photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop CS or Adobe Photoshop Elements.

There are numerous ways you modify your Christmas clipart digitally. (Be sure the license doesn't ban modification first, though!). You can convert your clipart to black and white for a beautifully elegant look. You can change the colors in any or all parts of a clipart image, so your clipart matches some other item that you are using. You can print your clipart out as a sticker. You can incorporate clipart in a digital photograph or a digital video. You can resize the clipart to any size you want. You can add text.

Notice the Christmas chipmunk. Compare it to the clipart image at the top of this page. This chipmunk has a green hat and Seasons Greetings is added as a text message.
