Why do we anticipate this holiday so eagerly? Many of us would say it is about getting back to that breath-taking joy you feel when watching the sparkling lights on the Christmas tree and smelling pine odour, refreshing the most cheerful memories of our childhood. Some “materialistic” guys would argue that Christmas is all about giving-and-receiving presents (commercial angle is essential though – who wouldn’t want to get a high-end tablet PC from his/her beloved granny this year?).
Some “family guys” would mention that Christmas is a great occasion to spend some precious moments together with our dear families and friends. However, we at the Giveaway of the Day project believe that there is a deeper meaning of Christmas that can’t be found under the Christmas tree and can hardly be described in a few words. All we know is that Christmas is the right time to share everything good with other people, hence spread gratitude, happiness and peace.
By the way, the general principle of our project has something in common with the good old Christmas tradition of sharing – we share with you, our loyal audience, the most interesting software daily, making a small Christmas everyday (yep, like a small geek Santa addicted to bringing joy on your computers).
We sincerely wish you health, prosperity and happiness! Our heart-felt wishes to our own cool “Santa’s elves” – vendors and moderators, and to you guys who download, install, test and criticize programs we share – you make our Santa’s workshop go on!
P.S. Here is our another good Xmas tradition – special Christmas gift for all of you, guys! It is GOTD-styled desktop background with Winter calendar, which comes in a few different resolutions so you can pick a suitable one: 2560×1440, 1920×1440, 1920×1080, 1680×1200, 1680×1050, 1600×1200, 1440×900, 1400×1050, 1366×768, 1280×1024
…and YES, we thought of providing a preview, but considered a SURPRISE is always MERRIER! ;)
