Animated Christmas GIFs of Yore
December 21st, 2010 by Benj Edwards
A few days ago, PCMag.com published a slideshow of vintage Christmas graphics files that I put together. Some of those images were stills from animated GIFs. Below, you’ll find the full animated GIF files featured in the article and a whole lot more. Merry Christmas!
Prepare to be besparkled.
If That Didn’t Put an Eye Out
Here are even more Christmas animated GIFs, most of which were culled from the world of free late-1990s webhosting (think Geocities).

I’m glad you posted the GIFs. The GIF format allows for comments to be put into the file, and sometimes origin information is available by simply opening the image in a text editor. For instance, several of these were made with unregistered versions of GIF Construction Set. Tsk tsk tsk. 🙂

That’s a very cool piece of digital forensics advice, Brian. One can also look into the EXIF tags on some JPG files.
