I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Although the last few months have been tough, I know I am still lucky. I have a woman in my life who loves me, good friends that I know I can trust, and to be my age (49ish) pretty darn good health. The money comes and goes, but money is useless without love, health and trust. I am also thankful for what has become my support group. Lovey, I hope Santa gives you something special. All I can muster is a cyber hug. Thank you. Rez, a special Christmas wish goes out to you.

The Commodore and I wish everyone on AFB2 a wonderful holiday season. We have 21 coming for dinner tomorrow so I am on KP endlessly.... ....but it is worth it. Apple helped us provide for our friends and family this year so we paid them back by buying lots of APPLE products for Christmas. Here's a happy wish to all..but especially Prazan's new daughter. Ah, first Christmas... And Lovey, get Fenway a bone from me.

Happy holidays all. Very thankful for the new home that iPad set up for us.
The tide is getting ready to turn if it hasn't already. Just hold tight.

When I think of Apple and its proper place in my world, the last few months do not seem so bad after all. Thank you everyone, new friends and old, for the lessons of this year and I hope to be able to apply them better in the next.
Merry Christmas all, and grace and blessings in the new year.

Gee I wonder why my kids are the "Apple" girl at school! I love it. I am afraid that if I took a similar picture with my 11 year old we would beat your family. We have two iMacs, three laptops, one eMac, Apple classic, three iPads, 9 iPods, two Apple TVs, and 4 iPhones. Merry Christmas to All. Hope next Christmas we all celebrate $900.

Ah, first Christmas... And Lovey, get Fenway a bone from me. Thanks, Red. Her brother turned three last week, so this is the first Christmas he understands, Santa and all. I'm not above bribing him with promises of time on the iPad for good behavior. This year I used iPhoto to lay out and publish a couple of family photobooks through Apple, so everyone in my extended family is getting an Apple under the tree this year. And thanks to the AFB2 community for helping me stay connected to all things Apple the past few months, when I haven't had much time to spare after my diapering duties. And thanks above all for the camaraderie.

Merry Christmas to all , Don't forget we were up over 25% this year still better then any mutual funds!!! Dow up roughly 7% YTD. Buffett up about 16%. AAPL around 28%. Cute pic. Merry Christmas, all. Peace on earth. Good will towards men. And lots of Apple gift cards under the tree this morning to activate iPhones and iPads the last 6 days of the quarter.

Thanks to everyone here for your contributions and fellowship this year. It was good to meet several of you in person. It has been an interesting year for us. Going from the top of my field to unemployed has been a daunting experience. Things will turn around and having no deadlines and employee issues has been nice. My only regret is the time wasted that I could have been adding value for a company that needs it. Job hunting sucks! Thanks Mark for the kind wishes. I will pass them along. A special Christmas to you as well.

Just read an article in The Guardian that stated, each year 75-90% of options traders lose money. Let us be in that 10-25% next year.

Well we had our first baby and she was born on Christmas Eve...she's already the Apple of her daddies eye. It's a good sign for things to come I believe, but it's also a good time to think about what's important...Family, Friends and good health.
