Chris, Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. I think that your video greeting is one of the most heart felt that I have seen in a long time, but coming from you, I guess that's a given. Wishing you the best of the best in 2009. Laura P.S. - I got our family a Flip last year for Christmas and it is one of the best Family presents ever. We've captured many beautiful memories on that Flip.

Chris,
A sweet video. Thank you for sharing.
You know, I started my social media sloshing in 2008, started blogging a bit more seriously in the Spring and got hooked on Twitter.
I could have quit it all very easily. I was unemployed and pretty dejected but something happened which spurred me on.
I don't remember how but I found your blog and I felt that somebody else was out there who kinda had the same sense about what we could do with social media.
I have to tell you: you took an interest in one post of mine, the cascading consequences of which pushed me on to become a better blogger, a better person of sharing. I think that without your recognition, I may not have found the community that I now enjoy.
I have big plans for 2009, few of which I would have had were it not for your intelligence, your kindness and your commitment to getting social media right. It's taken many years to get Healthcamp to come to Philly. I don't think it's just a footnote to say that you were an important inspiring part in getting that started.
So, blessings be on you and your lovely family. 2009 will be a dark time for most of us. But that's OK. Our lives were meant to lend each other helping hands and reasoning minds. Where the darkness grows, so does the saving grace. Perhaps social is the medium through which we all can connect to make a better world.
You will need help in 2009. You can count on our help in making your goals matter to the rest of the world.
Thank you, Chis.
Always, Phil

Chris,
Your video was heartwarming and fun. Now I feel like taking my saucer out for a spin. Having just discovered your blog this past year, I look forward to all the great things you have planned for 2009. I really hope a stop in Detroit is included in your schedule. There are many people here who would love to see you pay us a visit!
Merry X-mas and Happy New Year!

Hi Chris,
I just read your blog for the first time. You're quite an okay guy. :) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I look forward to see more of your posts. :)
Happy Holidays to you and the family! 2008 has been a great ride and there's nowhere to move but forward! And let me just say that I'm looking forward to it (as I'm sure you are)...
We had a little bit of rainy weather out here which isn't as enjoyable as the snow but I did have a great time with family! (The snowy weather will have to wait till next month on our trip to the slopes). For now, Happy Holidays to you and yours! I look forward to what you have in store for us in 2009...

I've never seen that little enclosure for a snow blower. Very cool.
Happy Holiday! --Steve

Chris,
That video was a great peek into your family and a nice one to see this Xmas morning. And I've never seen a snow blower with a shield around it.
2008 has definitely been a great year for me, with tons of ups n downs, but am thankful at where I am in and the people that are around me. You and your blog have definitely been an inspiration to me and has helped me learn and grow every single day. For that, I'm thankful and can call you a friend - unless we need another hot tub outing...
Best wishes and looking forward to a great 2009!
Cheers!

Merry Christmas, Chris.
In between present opening and breakfast, I'm catching up. I'm giving myself a little Xmas present and delving a little deeper into your wonderfully informative blog.
I try to learn things every day and you never fail to inform me about something, a direction, a reminder, etc. Thanks for that.
So, brevity! :)
Lovely vid. Lovely family.

It's going to be a fun 2009, for sure. I'm glad that you think about this thing in the "we" terms, and not the "I". Social media, just as life, is about the "we". Without the "we", we're just a bunch of ladies and gentlemen, guys and girls. Together we are a strong force that has shined in 2008 and shown the power of the collective, and the speed of a truly connected human network.
From my family to yours, may you all have the best Xmas and holiday season!
In such a good way, Greg Huntoon

Chris,
Congrats on a great year and many more to come. Glad I had a chance to finally meet you this year. And snow? Hmmm. As a New Yorker who enjoyed snow my entire life including some major blizzards, I'm enjoying more the joys and benefits of milder weather in San Francisco and Maui.
Aloha and Happy Holidays to you and your family! S. Neil Vineberg

Great video! And even better news that you will do one charity per month! That's been my recent challenge to folks: Be A Geek Who Gives Year-Round -- why just around the holidays? Every year for the past few years, I've celebrated my birthday with social media and raising money for charity -- (used flickr a couple of years to celebrate the big 5.0 http://flickr.com/groups/21762090@N00/pool/) My birthday is in January and thinking up something fun to celebrate ..

Chris - I've enjoyed reading your blog and tweets for the past several months. Thanks for sharing the video. For someone in Houston where the temp today was 75, the snow looked refreshing. Being stuck was probably no fun, but I enjoyed it regardless. Doug

Hey there Chris,
Loved the video - always nice to see the people behind the mask (not that you wear a mask, but you know what I mean), and equally nice to see your familial love.
I'll help make 2009 a little easier for you as far as the charity a month goes (if you need help, that is!):
The first charity has been chosen for January (War Child) and we're moving forward fast (your good lady assistant Kathryn is one of the creative partners on the project).
Looks like 2009 is going to be a great year for changing lives :)
Your comments were the greatest inspiration I have read since I started all this crazy blogging and twittering! Thank you for setting me back on the right track. I was getting pretty bored thanking everyone for following me!
