SAU Communication Holiday Card
Last week, I asked the readers of my weekly newsletter (not a subscriber yet?) if they could send my way links to their 2012 holidays cards. I also got some suggestions via Twitter.
Here’s the selection of my favorites 2012 holidays videos (in no specific order) along with all the links I received so you can check out every single one.
If you have a holiday card or have seen a cool one that isn’t listed here, post a comment so we can all watch it.
Happy Holidays!
