Cool Apple Store Christmas display features a FaceTime-ing Santa

FaceTime Santa
If you are tired of standing in long lines at the mall with your children while they wait to see Santa Claus, then you should scope out your local Apple store instead. Spotted at Apple stores in the U.S. and Canada is a clever Apple display featuring a FaceTime-ing Santa. Inspired by Apple's recent holiday advertising blitz, the FaceTime Santa is shown talking to one iPhone while a second iPhone displays an endless loop of FaceTime conversations.

Clever parents with young and gullible children could even pull off the unthinkable by simulating a conversation with the Apple store Santa. Just hire your brother Bob to don the appropriate white beard and red attire, fire up FaceTime, and you have the makings for a conversation your children will remember for years to come.

I saw this in the window of the Glendale store (#1). Nice.

How much would you pay for a roll-down (window shade-like) background for your FaceTime calls?

Tell the kid to play Portal, and say Santa is like cake. ;)

While at first I really liked this commercial, a friend of mine said that this commercial is just showing kids that Santa isn't real. I didn't even think of it like that. Sad face.

The excuse you would tell your kid is that Daddy in the ad is helping Santa because Santa himself is too busy this time of year to do one on one phone calls. This doesn't mean he's not real...but I didn't think of it either and you would have to in order to have that excuse ready if your kid sees it lol. So thanks!

Yes, but so are all of the Santas in malls and every other place. It doesn't take a kid long to realize that the Santa in the last store and the Santa in THIS store can't both be the real Santa.

As JT said, the idea is that all of these guys are helpers for the real Santa, since he can't be everywhere at once. Actually, when you think about it, that's completely true anyway. They're carrying on the tradition started by St. Nicholas, which is the whole point anyway.
