Beautiful Free Christmas Desktop Wallpapers

free-christmas-desktop-wallpapers

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Christmas is almost here!

And with it the time to update our desktop wallpapers.

As that is one of my most favorite things to do and I always love searching for new desktop backgrounds, I thought I could share some of my new finds with you.

So, if you are into that kind of thing, there are some really beautiful holiday images waiting for you HERE. They are in JPG format and work on all computers including Apple Macs.

And if you are a PC user, like me, you might like the festive Christmassy desktop wallpaper themes that are freely available from Microsoft (they work on PCs only). To activate them, click on the links below, and then (on Microsoft’s website) click the Download Theme button. Once the download has finished, simply double-click on the downloaded file in order for Windows to install your new desktop theme. (All three themes come with multiple desktop wallpaper images, Christmas sounds and colors! The themes can be installed on Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.)

Decking the Halls theme
Decorating the Trees theme
Holiday Lights theme

Enjoy!

Love,
