		Christmas Tweets and Treats – A gift from Twitter!!
		10 Comments

Two more days to go for Christmas and till yesterday I was totally blank about a Christmas post on Graphic Design Blog. Lost in my thoughts I started browsing twitter and was welcomed by numerous tweets of Christmas posts. The list made me realize there was no exciting topic left to be compiled for my blog readers but all of a sudden I struck with an idea.

Undoubtedly, twitter has opened new doors of exposure for the design community in the year 2009. Graphic designers were hit hard by the twitter maniac sharing countless design resources and compilations. It won’t be wrong to say that throughout this year twitter has played an important role in expanding the graphic design community.

Therefore, to thanks twitter I decided to make it a part of my Christmas celebrations. Below I have compiled some of the best posts submitted on twitter displaying the festive spirit of Christmas.

There were endless exciting links submitted on twitter for Christmas but as I had to rush to buy decorations for my Christmas tree, I have missed many. Therefore, I will be really pleased if you drop by and share your Christmas post here with us.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
