New Year's Greetings from CD Projekt RED

The creators of The Witcher 2 congratulated fans on the upcoming New Year holidays and, as usual, prepared an unusual holiday card for them.

"2011 is coming to an end, it’s the right time to summarize the results of these twelve months, as it was truly an incredible year for CD Projekt Red. In May, we released the long-awaited "[The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings](/games?search=Ведьмак 2: Убийцы Королей)", which was warmly received by fans and the press. Four months later, we presented the improved version 2.0. It not only enhanced gameplay but also added new modes. But you don’t think we're stopping here, do you? As we approach the new year, 2012, you have every right to expect pleasant surprises. But more on that later. ;) On this occasion, wishing everyone happy holidays and many thrilling adventures in the coming year, both in games and in life." - CD Projekt Red

And here is the card itself:

Literary translation of the song:

On a dark and stormy night, they will come to your home,

Hiding all sorts of gifts in the corners.

There will be enough treats for everyone, no one goes without.

They’ll roam the houses all night, to finish the task.

On a dark and stormy night, they’ll bring joy and goodwill

Just like every year, gifts will be piled high.

And in the morning, when you wake up, wish happiness to all

And even pay your dues to the fat trolls.

Literal translation:

Under the cover of night, they will enter your home,

Distributing Christmas gifts in places.

No one will be without a treat.

They will wander all night to finish the task.

Under the cover of night, they will spread joy and fun.

Let’s hope they’ll come again next year.

And when you wake up early in the morning,

Think warmly of everyone, even the cursed, winged or horned.

The Beggar's song about the events on the eve of Christmas
