I'm pretty sure I won't be able to order a Christmas Other Half any time soon. But how about background images that make beautiful ambiences?

Are there enough creative people in this community to collect some holiday related artwork?

I'd so love to be able to change my ambience on a daily basis not only on the days before Christmas, but also for New Year's Eve. I want to have all of them: kitschy angels, drunk Santas, peaceful villages covered with snow, Christmas trees in all colors, fireworks and bottles of champagne,... and surfers from Australia. Never underestimate those surfers. :)

We all know that simply using Google's image search isn't enough for a great ambience. You need a motive that goes well with the unusual 540x1600 (is that correct?) image size. You need to have it well placed within this image so it doesn't appear cut off in any view. Finally of course, you need colors that produce readable text when thrown at Jolla's ambience algorithm.

If you think that creativity is your strength or if you have this one beautiful photo you always wished was landscape because it would make such a good wallpaper for the laptop... If you've found an already existing Jolla specific wallpaper for the season... Please share as an answer below! Link to the file or upload it to a place where others can find it as well.

Here are links I found interesting about ambiences:
