The Digital Story Of The Nativity
In tune with the social media era, Excentric – a Lisbon, Portugal, company – created a video that tells the Christmas story through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google, among other popular media tools.
In the last week, the video has been viewed more than 2 million times on YouTube, with most of the viewers liking it.
Miguel Figueiredo, president of Excentric, told CNN that he wanted to illustrate how social media tools can work.
And he used the familiar story of Jesus Christ's birth to demonstrate so.
"The story for us is very familiar, even all the details," he told CNN, noting that Portugal is a predominantly Catholic country. "Of course we involved the people who are more connected to the religion on a more daily basis and they were very participative in the creative process."

I've seen this about a dozen times and discover something new with each viewing.
Favorite part: The FaceBook "Like" count spinning like crazy with the announcement of the Birth of The Savior.
Close second: The slightly historically incorrect:
“Avoid Romans”

Maybe the Romans were as crabby as the Jews at Caesar Augustus’ stupid way of arranging a tax and census. Why couldn’t they register with whatever tax collector served their current address then the tax collectors get together in Rome to collate their data?

What I was referring to was the fact that it was actually Herod, the Jewish puppet King of the Romans, who issued the order to kill all the babies, and about whom, Joseph had the dream warning him to flee to Egypt with Mary and the Christ Child.
