Ask HN: what's your favourite startup/agency Christmas greeting?

Hi all

An agency I work with has just launched its 2011 online 'Christmas card' for clients and friends. It's a lot of fun (I'll post a link to it in the comments), but got me thinking: how do startups (and other agencies) have a bit of fun with their holiday greetings? Good examples welcome!

An agency my partner worked for did "Jumpers for Shelter" last year: employees hand-knitted or hand-accessorized a jumper, which was then auctioned along with some bling donated by clients (kitchen knives, computer games, jewellery). All money from the eBay auction went to Shelter.

Mint Digital (based in London) did a great one a few years ago.

I got sent a moleskine which had the words "Amicus Menthae" embossed in it.

If you google the phrase, you get this website: http://amicusmenthae.com/

An image of the moleskine is also there if you're interested.

Here's the 2011 one from all of us at Torchbox: http://sing.torchbox.com

(Yes, this is a pretty gratuitous plug, I know, but it's fun. See the FAQs link for how we built it).

This one's awesome: teehan+lax recreated their logo by painting the partners blue

You really need to do a "Making of" video for that sort of thing. It's nice having both the e-presence and the physical Christmas card to send (or to have already sent out) to clients.
