Stop the presses: Apple cancels Christmas
In a stunning revelation, in addition to Steve Jobs declining to give the keynote speech and announcing Apple will pull out of Macworld after this year, a joint statement released by Apple and Santa Claus states that Christmas will end after this year."Apple has been steadily scaling back on holidays in recent years, including Valentine's Day, Columbus Day, President's Day and Grandparents Day in Japan," the press release states.
The joint press conference was sponsored by an unknown lover of parody and a good bit of tongue-in-cheek humor.
And, don't worry. We can always import the Japanese Health and Sports holiday (second Monday in October) and use it to fill the gift-wrapped Apple-shaped holes in our hearts.
Many thanks goes to the unknown site creator for creating a smile in the middle of a lot of confusion!
And also thanks to @frijole on Twitter for the tip!

It was, for me. It's probably not a very healthy sign, but my heart aches at the moment. :(
