Friday, December 21, 2007 -- 11:35 a.m. -- on my couch
'Twas a few days before Christmas
And from the cities to the sticks
I've never seen so many folks looking
for their holiday iPhone fix
The callers were nestled all snug, earbuds in tight
While visions of new features made them smile with delight
He wants productivity, she wants a new game
Everyone wants MMS, and of course Microsoft Exchange
When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter
I tripped over my adapter to see what was the matter
That's when I saw them, coming out of the TV
Hello, I'm a Mac ... and I'm a PC
What was happening ... listen to that wind blow
The Sears Tower illuminated everything in a strange, greenish glow
Now I must be dreaming, is that ... what the heck?
Yes, yes it is ... Steve Jobs ... in a black turtleneck!
I rubbed my eyes, yes he's drawing near
Apple's Santa on a wireless sleigh with eight tiny MacReindeer.
Yahhhh. On Prancer, on Comet, on Dasher, on Donner ...
This is for you, Scott, the world's greatest iPhone blogger
Just then my eyes open, everything looks so clear
But what I saw next nearly made me shed a tear
A box with a note from Steve that read "whatever you do
Promise not to open this, not before February 22."
Now surely, dear caller, you can't possibly believe
That I could last 2 months with an unopened gift from Santa Steve
There goes the paper, goodbye cardboard below
It's better than I expected -- It's beautiful -- It's iPhone 2.0
Shinier, thinner and what's this I see?
Hundreds of icons, video, radio and 3G
A loud ringer, copy and paste -- isn't it divine?
Wait it gets better ... 32 GB for just $299.
But just like that it's gone ... oh no, let me check
Yep ... I'm on the ground, power cord around my neck
It couldn't be ... NO! I have to blow off some steam
How could something so real be all but a dream?
As crazy as this tale is, lucky for you
This new age I imagine is soon to come true
And how bout this rhyme? Not all that appalling
Merry Christmas to all and to all thanks for calling.

Brillant!! Better than Clement Clark Moore!!! The new Christmas sweater replacement is "the" black turtleneck! Thanks Scott, you have us coming back for more everyday!!! Wishing you and yours a great Holiday Season!
SCOTT'S REPLY: Thanks, Greg. I was inspired -- a little by the classic and a little by the Fresh Prince. Glad you enjoyed. I wish you and yours a great holiday season too.
