Yep, already submitted as news to MacRumors.

The Xmas ad is pretty cute.

There's also a "Now What" ad, too, in the getamac section. I don't know if it's new, but I've never seen it before.

I wonder if this'll replace their annual promo that they make...

It'll be a shame if it does because I really liked last years

I just saw this on Apple's site. It's nice.

I like how they went with animated cartoonish characters. It works nice in the ad.

Why isn't there something about QuickTime 7.3.1 posted on the homepage instead of this useless crap? It's a stupid ad, get over it!

It's the holidays I'm sure even Bill Gates finds this one cute and funny. Reminds me of the old school Santa Claus is Coming to Town yearly TV show of the claymations.

BTW in regards to the statement you made, "It takes one to know one".

So there's Mac, PC, and Santa? Who is Santa? I'm leaning towards Red Hat perhaps.

I was hoping they'd have a Christmas ad for this year! I really like that they went with an animation approach.
