Apple Thoughts: Christmas the Apple Store Way

"This morning, the online Apple store went offline for a short time. When it came back, there were no signs of an Apple tablet, but it seems the Christmas elves had been speaking to Mr. Jobs about gift options. If you've thought about buying gifts from Apple this festive season, you'll be happy to hear of the elegant gift wrapping options, Christmas-styled gift cards and, of course, the personalization options available for several Apple products."

Never too early to start thinking about Christmas I guess. You can even use the online store to send gifts to family and friends that are in another country, as long as they have a country specific online Apple store. To make it easy, Apple set up a help page on this very topic.
