It's easy to let a healthy dose of cynicism creep into the silly season when there's a bevvy of synthetic Santa hats and manic shoppers doing the rounds.

To help spread some Christmas cheer, HP and Ronald McDonald house are teaming up to support hospitalised kids in need. HP will donate AU$1 from every view the video below receives to the charity, up to a total of AU$10,000. As for the tech in play here? Well, that's a web-enabled HP ePrint device that was used to print off well-wishes sent to the kids via email.
