Must Have: Cool Christmas and New Year RSS Feed Icons

Occasionaly, I have a chance now to keep on talking about RSS feed icons for blogs (see my previous post named Top 10 ugliest RSS feed icons).

Many bloggers tend to change the way their blogs look for the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays. One of the easiest and still most effective ways to attract blog readers's attention is replacing a standard looking RSS feed icon with something more elegant.

I managed to find RSS feed icons drawn by a Russian web designer and would like to share it with you:

Pretty cool, isn't it?

Moreover, I'm going to provide you with the links for direct downloading of such RSS feed icons archived in one zip-archive:
