Santa only has to visit the "good" ones.
Nope, the bad kids get coal in their stockings hung on the fireplace, so that's 3.7 billion fireplaces w/chimneys in the world.
Got a tip for us?

That one hurt the Apple fanboys didn't it.
I didn't see anyone get out of the lineup.

It doesn't feel like the other ads. It's cute but I don't like it. I'm not too keen on companies trying to claim Santa as their own, it always comes off like pandering.
OK, I found out what music, wasn't that difficult, because Apple used it before this ad as well. Stupid from me.
Bits of cheesy chords though.

Thats leaves me with iTunes match.
Haven't felt a need for a danish siri, or siri at all... But would love iTunes match
It captures the "spirit" of him, yes that white bearded "ole" boy in the Red suit Santa Claus and good on Apple for releasing this advert, I like it. A Very Merry Christmas to all of you here on Mac Rumours even the "Bah Humbugs"...Ho Ho Ho
This is a great boost for the Christmas themed apps on the store. Santa, there's an app for that!

I'm impressed that they got three dialects of English, French and German on the initial launch! They hit around 80% of the market's native languages. I'm sure someone, somewhere is trying to work Chinese, Japanese and other Asian languages based on population.
Scandinavian languages have at most twenty million speakers through the world. There is an estimate only five million native Danish speakers. Be happy, there is local Dansk keyboards!

Actually, Samsung made a Santa-themed ad. In it he skipped over all the Apple users' homes.very good ad - way better than those smartass Samsung ones for sure
I second that. Even danes have trouble understanding their own language. Here is a good take on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk

I really like the ad. Some of Apple's ads over the last five years have been pretty douchey (Mac Vs PC started well, went to ridiculousness after a while, and the iPhone ads were stupid when they insinuated an iPhone knew more than the FAA about whether) but this one was very cute and funny. I hope they continue the streak.

A heck of a lot of people who've never heard of Jesus Christ celebrate Christmas.
