Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

As we enter the holiday weekend news slowdown, we can all look forward with anticipation to Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ opening keynote address for Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco on Tuesday, January 10, 2006 at 9am PST. The news (rumor-laden most probably) will undoubtedly build next week as we count down the day to the event. We can hardly wait!

We’ll continue to post as time, disparate Internet connections, and the news permits this holiday weekend.

Thank you for visiting MacDailyNews throughout the year and making MDN a part of your day. We really appreciate it.

  11. Merry Christmas MDN and everyone. Thanks for taking up my time at work because I could not get enough Apple News. I am typing in the Apple store in Gardens Mall in Wet Palm Beach FL. There is nothing like the smell of an Apple store with all the G4’s and G5’s Running all day. Anyway, let me go find my wife in the mall. Bye….

  21. Merry Christmas to all.

    It’s so refreshing to hear someone say “Merry Christmas” these days. I hate it when people just say “Happy Holidays.” It’s not the same.

    (Christmas is sufficiently secular it should offend no-one… except for the Scrooges of the world, and to them i say: A very merry Bah Humbug!)

  22. Merry Christmas to MDN and all its readers!

    And if you don’t get what you want for Christmas this year, remember there’s always the post MacWorld buying frenzy!

    Happy holidays one and all.

  24. I raise a glass of Kool-Aid in toast to one and all: the regulars and the surfers, the trolls and the hapless Winduz snoopers too.
    Happy Holidays and whatever and however or not-ever that you celebrate on this last week of December. May we pass each other in the aisles of the show floor at Macworld with BIG smiles after the Keynote. This year, it will be EXTRA “Kool.”

    Merry Christmas to all and to all a new Mac. : )

  32. I must admit that it does feel really good to see the words “Merry Christmas” in the MDN headline. We sent out Christmas Cards to our clients this year that featured Santa Claus sitting in a chair (our company logo is a Director’s Chair, so we were playing it up this way). A few of my employees asked me if I was okay with Santa being associated with our company, and if I was worried about offending any of our clients. That was the last straw for me, personally. I had been going out of my way to say Happy Holidays, Happy Hannukah, Happy Ramadan – but never Merry Christmas – for many, many years. So I went with my gut and kept the Santa and sent them out. Man, you should have seen the immediate reaction from our clients. I mean, overwhelming responses came flooding in that screamed “Merry Christmas!” back to us. It felt really, really good to hear it from them.

    I know there are other religions out there that we have been taught to be sensitive to, and by and large it seems that most people respect this, but others need to be sensitve to Christmas as well. Just my two cents ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

    Merry Christmas!

  35. Well, it is after all, Christmas, so a merry one to you. Lest we be too weary of misrepresenting a holiday, on St. Patrick’s day I might wish “Happy Drinking to all, and to all a good night!”, or on St. Valentine’s day, should we not include the people without rosy red hearts? Forbid we celebrate Columbus day without recognizing other explorers, or be so bold as to proclaim New Year’s as January 1’st (anyone chinese?)?. So I know Veteran’s day, and I never served, and Memorial Day, which I didn’t serve and plus I’m still alive! I celebrate Labor Day, even though I was between jobs last year, and the Fourth of July is just the day after the third in Australia. So, after all, December 25’th is Christmas, and I will celebrate it though I’m not a christian, put St. Paddy’s is 83 days away, and I’m Irish, so Happy Hannakuh!!

  37. “But who are you guys? Who are we thanking — is it just one dude and a laptop?”

    Bill, it is obvious to me that at least 3 people post MDN takes and opinion. First, the foul mouthed boy, second, his adult lover, and third, Steve Jack.

  44. On the eve of Christmas, these few thoughts are my wish list-
    1- Comfort to those who are separated from those they love.
    2- Food for those who are hungry.
    3- Relief for those in pain.
    4- Freedom for those not allowed to be free.
    5- Rest for the weary.
    6- Grace for those full of fear.
    7- A little more civility among us all.
    8- Peace for all of the world, regardless of who you are, where you are from or whatever god you pray to (or not).

    The rest is just gravy…

  45. Thanks MDN, whether you are one guy -or gal- and a laptop, and even if you turn out to be the chief programmer for Microsoft Explorer. Who cares?

    You give us the forum with, at times:

    -the funniest posts
    -the most informative posts
    -the most foul mouthed posts
    -the most insightful posts
    -the most political posts
    and even the dumbest posts.

    Whatever it is, and you are, its great stuff and I wish you and all the other zealots like me as well as Jobbsy and Ivy and all the lovely guys and girls at Apple, a very Happy Christmas!

    Be safe!

    Thanks MDN!!!

    Peace.

    M/W: first. As I really don’t mind the “First Post” nonsense. If it floats some people’s boats, more power to them.

  55. Merry Christmas everyone. Even though we’ve got into some pretty good arguments along the way, I have come to respect the MDNers who have taken the time to post their points of view along the way. I suppose that this is in some ways another extension of “family”. Hopefully 2006 will be fruitful for all of us. Here’s wishing everyone good health and peace so that they may in kind spread that to those they encounter along the way…

  56. Was checking the ‘haps in MacLand on a slow Christmas Eve and saw this post. As a former soldier, I hope the next Christmas finds most of our Soldiers and Marines at their ususal bases or at home on leave instead of in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Peace is my wish for all and to all…
