Garbergs Reklambyrå have created this campaign to raise awareness of the amount of Homeless on the streets at Christmas. The campaign is a take on the gingerbread house, portraying the kinds of places homeless people find themselves sleeping during Christmas. Great execution and handled tastefully I think. Check out the rest here.

Reuters have posted what they consider the best photos from the year in Press Photography. A really excellent mixture of the heavy and lighter news stories from the year. This image in particular caught my eye… VALENTIN FLAURAUD (January 23: Chateau-d’Oex, Switzerland) “Hot Air Balloon Week has taken place in Chateau-d’Oex during the last week of January every year since 1979. The old village itself is beautiful, as is the surrounding landscape. Add in up to a 100 balloons during peak years and you get the perfect photographer’s playground!

Response to brief of creating a personal ‘shrine’ of passions. The result is a 7ft interactive photo booth, celebrating both the seaside city of Brighton and the Christmas holiday season. Really fun and relatable solution to something personal from London based graphic designer Simon French. Check out more photos/information/projects here.

Classics: A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

ilovehotdogs:

Every time I watch this film I have to resist the urge to sit on the floor Indian style with my face in my hands. It totally turns me into a little kid again; And somehow after forty years, and a million replays, the simple story and perfectly jazzy soundtrack by the the Vince Guaraldi Trio make it a holiday classic that never feels dated.

Our favorite Debbie Downer Charlie Brown is suffering from a lil’ case of what doctors call Seasonal Affective Disorder. He’s annoyed by the commercialization of Christmas that has turned even his baby sister Sally into a gold digger. His friend and part-time psychologist Dr. Lucy Van Pelt suggests he take a seat in the director’s chair of their school Nativity Play. Unfortunately, Brown is no Scorsese. He can barely get everyone to stop dancing let alone turn them into thespians of Biblical proportions. This is my favorite scene: Schroeder pounding on the keys, Snoopy jamming on the bass, and all of the kids delivering some of the best dance moves you’ve ever seen! Once the dancing stops, Linus and the most charming little Christmas tree branch teach the children the true meaning of Christmas. Best Holiday movie, ever.

Happy Holidays from I Love Hot Dogs!
