The year of the Apple.

I know Christmas 2010 was SO LAST YEAR, but I wanted to share Langley's letter to Santa. I just love this list, her writing, her thinking and all the hard work put into it. Someday in the future, when she is jetting around the iEarth in her iBug, drinking her iCafe, connecting with her friends via iMind she will remember the year she gave Santa her iList.

"I want for Christmas is a pool and a Ipod and a ds and a computter, and a gutar, and a dsI and a Ipad and a Itouch.  How do your reindeer fly?  I have blue eyes my name is Langley and my brother Zeb wats a Ipad.  Love Langley."

And she got exactly one of those things.  A guitar.  A real one...not even an iGuitar.  There are many reasons why she didn't get all of those things on her list.  The obvious being FINANCIAL ONES.  Pair that with the fact that Skip hates anything with little i.  He is a PC man.  But that is a whole blog post for another day.  Suffice it to say, it's so not gonna happen.   Santa did, however, bring her great things.  Things that were fun but also things she needed.

(I will go on record to say that a pool is a definite NEED.  I was kind of hoping that would work in her favor. Maybe next year!)

Part of me wonders if this was her "is Santa really real list?"  Her Santa litmus test.  Give Santa the impossible.  If he delivers then he must be real. 

Hopefully, not. 

It's probably just Apple's mad marketing genius that got her hooked!

You can bet that her daddy is going to spend this year trying to outplay, outwit, outlast the power of the little i.
