Holiday Desktop Backgrounds from WordPress.com
We’ve got a little year-end tradition here at WordPress.com. Every year, we commission an artist to spread some WordPress-themed holiday cheer. For 2011, Caroline Hadilaksono has created a warm and joyful scene that’s sure to get you in the mood for the holidays (and some blogging). We’ve made some desktop backgrounds from her illustration that we’d like to share with you. Here’s to a safe and happy holiday season for all of you, from all of us at Automattic.
- Large (2560×1830 · 6.4 MB)
- Small (1280×915 · 1.8 MB)
- For tablets (1024×1024 · 1.6 MB)
- For smartphones (640×960 · 971 KB)
Need help changing your wallpaper? Here’s instructions for iOS, Android, Mac OS X, Windows, and Ubuntu. A tip: Choose an image larger than your screen size, and set the position to “center” or “fill screen” (not “stretch”).
If you missed them last time around, be sure to check out our illustrations from 2010 and 2009.

LOVE it — looking at this illustration, I almost hear the song from “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” when the Whos get together and sing in unison…
I can’t wait to see the archive illustrations from ’09 and ’10, too. Fun idea, WordPress!

Awesome! I created two Christmas desktop backgrounds too.. hope you drop on my blog to see and download them for free
Merry Christmas everyone.
