Christmas

“I’m getting too old for this, sighs Santa, as he pulls yet another all-nighter to finish the online shopping for those annoying last-minute Dear-Santa emails.”

It’s a classic, people always complain about receiving socks for Christmas. Well, not me. I love new socks, and I count on the Christmas bounty to replace the worn-till-toe-peaking-out pairs and the missing-in-action-lonely-divorcees (by the way, does anyone know where my socks go when they leave their better halves?).

For the Copella fruit juices website Christmas update, I was asked to create a series of printable goodies, such as greeting cards, gift tags, table settings, shopping and to do lists… and recipes. All with the traditional Copella feel, lots of apples and Christmasy decoration and a bit of the season’s quirkiness and chaos.

Some more photos of our FBAUL Xmas dinner… the actual Christmasy bit of the night: the presents. Note how we managed to convince Mafalda that her present was going to blow up in her face.

… where our small group of university friends exchanges a gazillion e-mails back and forth, finally finds a date where we are all available, agree on a restaurant, and gather around some food exchanging gossip, gifts and old anecdotes.

Update: Apparently these different new lights on Regent Street are sponsored by Nokia, and interact with the crowd down below. More information on this here.

Fleurri Weurri Design’s Christmas card in 2002 was a mock North Pole newspaper, reporting that FWD was about to rebrand Santa Claus and his sleigh. Inside, the fantastic blueprints were revealed and the back included a proper crossword puzzle.
