My Merry Christmas. com Rates More Merry Than Any Other Christmas Web Site Online
(PRWEB) November 5, 2000
(Salt Lake City, November 2, 2000) – According to the Institute of Merriment Studies at the North Pole, My Merry Christmas. com is 38% more merry than any other Christmas web site on the Internet. The study was released on the eve of the eighth seasonal launch of the online publication My Merry Christmas. com.
“Naturally we’re thrilled and excited to kick off the season this way.” said Jeff Westover, Managing Editor of My Merry Christmas. com. “But we think the study may be a little biased. After all, we report on the daily happenings at the North Pole exclusively on our web site and since the study was commissioned at the Institute there, we’re afraid that people will think we stacked the results.”
While My Merry Christmas. com is celebrating the eighth year publishing online, its roots are ancient. Each year a rich cast of elf characters develops to explain the mysteries of Christmas, to explore the legends and origins of the holiday and to share the goodwill of the season worldwide. “We do this completely commercial-free. In fact, it’s almost a religion to us.” Westover explained. “The commercialism of the holiday, and of Santa in particular, is something that we want to change. Our message is one of warmth and love and sharing. We don’t need to sell anything to do that.”
My Merry Christmas. com is supported through the benevolent efforts of professional writers, editors, artists, programmers and designers who donate their creative energies in the service of others online. Content for the site is widely distributed through the Merry Syndicate to other web sites online who share the non-commercial ideals of My Merry Christmas.
The Update from the North Pole newsletter, easily the most popular feature of the site, now numbers more than 250,000 subscribers who receive a daily email from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve detailing the magic of the season.
My Merry Christmas. com is an all-Christmas portal serving Internet audiences seeking educational information, entertainment and holiday resources online. It is created by a dedicated staff of more than 50 creative professionals from around the globe, including writers from South Africa, New Zealand and the Canadian arctic.
