The Indie Games Xmas Calendar 2009 (pretty cool, check it out)

This is an interesting idea they have over at Indiexmas.com, every day from now (well a few days ago, found this one a little late) to Christmas, a new “door” will be opened.  What is so unique about this?  Kind of like those boxes with those paper flaps that you open each day and get a candy, this digital version features games, videos and other interesting items for visitors.

So far, as of this writing 5 doors have been opened (#6 opens in under 2 hours).  What has come through those doors?  Check them out below, with handy links to boot.
