Free Christmas Clipart and Patterns

Ah, Christmas, my least favorite holiday. Somehow everyone forgot what it is really about. Arguments over nativity scenes and religious symbols, go figure. I say lets cancel it and move on. Let those that remember what it's about celebrate it quietly. Bah Humbug! Anyway, on that note, I am going to share some free Christmas and New Year clipart and background patterns and other stuff, so enjoy!
