Merry Christmas

Just a video I find interesting as a way to wish you a Merry Christmas.

Just a video I find interesting as a way to wish you a Merry Christmas. Regardless of your religious views, I think you'll agree that a Christmas focused exclusively on "buying and consuming" is quite far from what this holiday (and any religious holiday) means. Even a small step in that direction (one less present, some money for people who need it) is a step... 

I don't know too much about this US organization, Advent Conspiracy, (thanks to Tim Gooch for the original link), but I'm pretty sure there are similar initiatives all over the world. I certainly like the graphical-oriented video. Enjoy and Merry Christmas to you and the people you love.

Merry Christmas 

 Well said Marco.

For past few years our fanily has started giving all
sorts of interesting presents to each other via World
Vision.

This year my wife and myself have given each other a
pair of lamas (much better than a pair of pyjamas !!)
and in previous years apple trees chickens and many
other things. They have given us more pleasure than
what we used to give each other. And as we have spread
this to others in the exttended family it has grown.

TI ne that video sums up what I believe Christmas
should be about

 Dear Marco,

A fantastic presentation. It is a real eye opener.

Thanks for bringing this presentation to everyone's
attention. The Flash presentation is also superbly
composed.

I wonder which software did they use to build this
presentation...

 Marco says: "Christmas focused exclusively

this is not true for everyone, please don't 
generalize.

That video was excellent.  Thanks, Marco!  Merry 
Christmas, and thanks for your excellent reasearch 
and books which help Delphi developers (me included) 
all around the world keep their skills up to date.
