Merry Xmas

I haven't posted anything for ages, but I haven't forgotten you guys.
So I'm wishing you, and those around you, a fantastic Christmas and an awesome year to follow.
Hopefully 2009 will bring a new "Advertising etc" ;)
All the best guys.

Live Cheese & Biscuits

This is the best Christmas "card" I've seen so far. It's from web agency AKQA, it's a sort of gerbel Big Brother. The "Happy Christmas from AKQA" lights up each time a hamster goes on the wheel.

Get a Mac Christmas Ad

Let me know your thoughts on this ad. I like how they transformed the characters into a "cartoon". Is this a one off?

More Christmas spirit: 12 Days of Christmas (remix)

I don't know if you guys know this classic Christmas jingle, if you do I'm sure you'll appreciate this new version by Straight No Chaser, if you don't, I reckon you'll like it all the same.

Blockbuster: Christmas

Another Christmas ad, another good one. This one reminds me of how it is at home, a lot of people, a lot of confusion. Every year we seem to have more people joining us, one day we'll have to build an extension just to make the dinner table bigger. Anyway, this ad supposedly has 35 references to movies. Can you spot them all? Great work by DDB Toronto.
