Festive Greeting and Well Met ! (Photo credit: Joel Sartore – http://www.joelsartore.com/)

There’s a standing traditional association of revelry at this Yule time, for reasons aforesaid, and with that comes the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Oh, and Elves. Not the consumption of them, you understand, it’s just that Elves are also associated with it all, for reasons not so clear other than it might have something to do with drinking. Here’s an animated Christmas greeting by way of the CGBros, produced by the Mad Crew team in December 2014, to enliven this Long Winter’s Night.

A hard act to follow, I’ll admit, but we’re no one string banjo around here, and we’d be remiss in our duties if we stopped at entertaining only those with an appreciation for booze and pyrotechnics. By no means excluding those, here for them and the rest of you who keep surviving year to year to find your way back here, is A Fistful of Presents. A film by Cole Clark, class of 2014 at the Ringling College of Art and Design Department of Computer Animation, it’s got everything else you need. We’ll leave you with it on this Long Winter’s Night, along with LFM best wishes for the thriving and unbridled continuance of all you hold most dear.
