Christmas icons
Officially, my posting day (the 21st) is already over, at least in my time zone. But I am going to assume that's not a big problem, since the 21st was pretty crowded with posts anyway. I do want to apologize for not having commented on any of this year's entries yet. I've been up to my neck in work until this weekend, and then I needed to get my own entry done in time (more or less). But I will be catching up during the coming days, promised!
Teaser:
Now on to the goodies. Ever since I joined LJ around this time last year, I've been wanting to make myself some proper Christmas icons. Now that I've finally had the opportunity, I guess I went a little overboard with it :-) They're all gifs inspired by Christmas songs. #1 is a Christmas version of one of my Seasonal Spuffy icons, and #8 is based on an artwork I made years ago. The rest are all brand new.

Because not everybody likes animation, I made one or more "plain" versions of each icon too. Plus there's one alternative gif, because I couldn't decide whether I preferred the multicolour version of rockin' Spike or the blue/purple one.
