Festive frivolity.

12.22.10 by Jim O'Gara

All seriousness aside for the moment. The holiday season is about joy. Joy = fun. We certainly had a lot of fun with our OnMessage holiday e-card this year. Check out the randomness. And to keep the joy flowing, we’ve pulled together a random gathering of holiday favorites:

 

Two clever approaches to the Nativity story surfaced this year, both depicting how things would have gone down online. Excentric’s The Digital Story of the Nativity taps everything from Google to Foursquare, whereas Igniter Media’s Social Network Christmas sticks to a Facebook telling.

 

It seems like you can’t walk through a mall food court without a Hallelujah flash mob popping up these days, but for us, last year’s Lisbon Airport edition is by far the most fun.

If we have to get serious for a moment, however, this little gem seems to have gotten lost in the crowd and the message is just too good to miss.

 

And finally, which brand did the best job of capturing holiday fun this year? From a pure capitalistic “stuff from Santa” perspective it has to be Target’s Christmas morning rewind -- but on the frivolity meter, our vote goes to Pedigree’s Winter Wonderland.

 

Sure, 50%of shoppers say they aren’t influenced by the holiday advertising but the spreading of joy and smiles can be just as great an influencer.

HappyHolidays!
