🎄 Joy, Culture, and the Power of a Great Idea 🎅
I recently saw a video of a Krampus festival—wild, eerie, and steeped in tradition. It reminded me how unique ideas shape cultures and how others amplify them.
Take Santa Claus, for example. The jolly, red-suited St. Nick most of us picture today wasn’t invented by Coca-Cola, but their genius marketing gave us the Santa we know and love. His vibrant red coat (a Coca-Cola red, no less), warm smile, and twinkle in his eye became symbols of joy, generosity, and togetherness that are now timeless.
This reminds me that it’s not always about having the original idea—it’s about making it better. It’s about nurturing concepts that resonate, bring people joy, and connect us to something bigger.
As we approach the holidays, let’s keep that same spirit alive. Whether you’re wrapping up work, stepping away for a much-deserved break, or celebrating traditions new and old with your family, let’s focus on what truly matters: the joy we bring to others and the memories we create together.
From my family to yours, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and plenty of time with loved ones. Here’s to making great ideas even better, no matter where or when they start!
