The lemurs are back! This time they’ve come for a special Christmas-themed adventure about how Christmas scales, using practical lessons in holiday operations.

Now let’s see what they’re up to today.

Meet Red

You may have already met Red some time in the past from other talks and events. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure, Red is a magical lemur. He’s also particularly fond of Christmas, especially presents.

This raises a question though: how exactly does Santa do it? How does he scale Christmas?

Let’s journey to the North Pole to see if we can find some answers.
