Yesterday, fellow RD Bernd Marquardt, Jens Häupel (DE from Microsoft Germany), and myself did the famous MSDN Online Weinhachts WebCast (Christmas web cast).

Besides giving away a number of presents - like books, VS.NET copies, mugs and the like - we also did some Xmas-related demos :)

There is a German web site with all the demos on it. Although it is German, everybody should understand what is on there - but anway, I will list the demos in order here again (you can download them from the other site):

• Drawing an interactive christmas tree with C# and GDI+ (Bernd)
• 'Sending Santa Claus a message to ask him what day of the week is christmas eve for a given year' Web service (Christian)
• Drawing an animated candle with Avalon (Bernd)
• An über-cool snowflake screensaver (configurable) with VB.NET (Jens)

Have fun! And happy christmas!
