We’re all excited in The Social office about Santa’s arrival this weekend. We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a very blissful New Year.

See you in 2012 but in the meantime, here are our top three videos of 2011.

We hope Fenton gets a bone for Christmas

We’re sure Marcel will get some lovely new shoes from Santa.

And we’re sure this little girl is not as naughty as she seems.

Bondi Beach seems even further away this morning, watching these Strongbow Cider sponsored night-glo surfers in Australia while the snow falls over Ireland. Brrrrr!

It really is funny because it’s true. Even if you’re the most unstereotypical girl in the world, you’ve probably done at least one of these things.
