Mac Resources for Your Christmas

Advertisements

Christmas is coming and it's the right time to start decorating your house, as well as your Mac.

Maybe there are already a lot of free Christmas resources around the net, but I'd like to make one special list for Mac.

Though this is not a huge list, but I've tried to cover the most interesting things on your Mac, such as screen saver, wallpaper, and many other fun stuffs. So, what are you waiting for now?

Christmas Screen Savers

Nothing represents Christmas as much as falling snowflakes and flying Santas. Here are collection of screen savers that picture Christmas on your Mac.

Scattered Flurries

Perhaps you've long bored with the moving Flurry of Colors on your Mac, especially during Christmas day. You can add more flurries of snow to your Mac Screen Saver.

Snowfall

If you will never have a great Christmas without falling flakes of snow, you can download this snowfall quartz composer screen saver to simulates the ice storm!

LotsaSnow

Following the popularity of LotsaWater which pours the water into your Desktop, I believe the performance of LotsaSnow won't disappoint you during Christmas time. Basically, it throws flakes of snow right into your Desktop, but not in reality.

A Very 3D Christmas Screen Saver

Regardless of its nearly ten dollars price tag, this screen saver and its 3D display worth our mention, to migrate the Santa into the world of inside our Mac; Without neglecting the fact that you can also put Santa in the city.

Christmas Wallpapers

Though we have showcased some beauty of the wallpaper world, we realized that we've put less attention on wallpapers for Christmas.

Here are several great wallpapers you can use on your Mac for Christmas!

Waiting for the Miracle

A Small Gift for Christmas

Wishing You Magic

Christmas Lighthouse

Holidays Christmas

X'Mas Holiday


Christmas Icons

Most of these icons are to help you in better representing Christmas with your Mac. Santa Hat, Gift Packaging and Christmas Tree and Snowman Icons are must to have.

Just for Fun

Apart from Screen Savers, Wallpaers and Icons, they're still many other Christmas related stuffs to decorate your Mac.

Snowflakes

Pour snowflakes right onto your working Desktop; No need to enter the screen saver mode is the main advantage (and also the major distraction). But not to care much about the distractions, it's for Christmas afterall.

Snowflakes

X-Mas Tree

Create your very own stand-alone Christmas tree with various selection of lights, bells, decorations and blinking stars (no, you won't have hanging Christmas Sock there).

X'Mas Tree

Festive Lights

Dashboard Widget that dresses your Mac in elegant animated lights with 10 available motion patterns for you to enjoy. With simple Terminal command, you can drag this widget out of Dashboard into your Mac Desktop.

Festive Lights

MacLampsX

Decorate your Mac with couple of Christmas Lamps put at the back of your working windows, attempting to reduce distraction level on your Mac.

Xmas Lights

This little application behaves like MacLampsX with only difference in kind of lamps used and horizontal placement of lamps.

Santa Menu

Stick a head of santa to your menu bar and make a "Ho-Ho-Ho" sound in certain interval. Nothing much, really.
