Left of the Dot Co-Founders John Lyotier and Chris Jensen, who got a Christmas.com trademark on the slogan - the Official Site of Christmas™ - have pulled out all of the stops to make the new Christmas.com  site live up to that name. They said more than 40 million products from 400 different retailers can now be purchased through the site. They have also 

loaded it up with all manner of  Christmas-y things, including wish lists, games, recipes, stories, and a high-tech naughty or nice list. The duo is also proud of the fact that Christmas.com is their most social media oriented site to date. 

Still, the thing thing they are most excited about is the use of their sub-domaining platform to provide unique Family Pages for Christmas. "In brief, we allow families to have their own special place of Christmas," Lyotier said. "For example, you might claim Jackson.Christmas.com or JacksonFamily.Christmas.com for your family. They are free for now and the uptake has been brisk so far."

Lyotier noted, "With your personal domain/page, you can share photos, Christmas traditions, recipes, wish lists, and generally give your family a place to come together over Christmas. If you want to get your own, you can claim your Family Page at http://www.christmas.com/family-pages."

Jensen said, "The rise of Social Media has led to increased online interaction between families, but until now,there has been no central, obvious location to celebrate Christmas together.

Facebook allows transient conversations, but Christmas is special and those experiences and memories should be kept in a lasting place and shared with the important people in our lives."
