It's that time of year again, when agencies use all their remaining creativity and joyful spirit to create festive holiday cards, videos, and websites. It's also the time where agency staffers are given free reign to get downright weird. And thankfully, this year did not disappoint.

If you're looking for messages of goodwill and hope for humanity, you won't find it in these examples. But you will find awkward people dancing around in onesies, a hipster santa, and a Pomeranian in 12 different outfits -- and isn't that the most you can hope for this holiday?

Check out this list of the weird, wacky, and wonderful world of agency holiday cards. (Warning: The audio in #3 is NSFW.)

1) Exit10

2) AKQA

The agency created a website that can turn your phone into a virtual snow globe. When youthis website on a mobile device和shake the screen, it'll start to snow (on your screen, not in real life). If you rotate the phone, you'll see other parts of the winter landscape inside the globe. You can even write your own message and send the globe to your friends and family by email or social media. (Go ahead,一探究竟！We'll wait right here.)

3) Ogilvy & Mather Paris

If Christmas was the product of an advertising stunt, this video shows it would look a lot different. This video from Oglivy & Mather shows what it might be like if the concept of Christmas was pitched to a focus group -- and it brings up some questions about the strange traditions we all accept.
