Mac Power Users episode 405, Holiday Gift Guide 2017.

Seasoned!

Season greetings everyone. I know it's not Thanksgiving yet but we don't care.

We're ready to enjoy the holiday. How you doing today Katie Floyd? I'm ready for the

holidays David. I'm ready for a little break here. You know what I wanted to do this year and I know this is like verboten and some people hate it but we we have an artificial Christmas tree so we can put it up as early as we want to.

Oh, that's so wrong, so wrong.

Well, if you lived in Southern California, you would too because they just, they dry up and turn into tender

very quickly in the dry Southern California climate.

But anyway, so we have this, we got a new artificial tree last year after Christmas,

super excited to try it out this year,

and I really wanted on Halloween to be setting it up. So when people ring the doorbell,

we'd be playing Christmas carols and Quebec candy cans.

And then we just never got there, you know, it's hard.

And we're leaving, we're going on a big trip after Christmas so we weren't going to have much time to enjoy the decorations. We want to get them up.

But that got me thinking about holiday stuff. Every year we do this show where we have our holiday gift guide and it's a lot of fun putting together talking to some of the listeners about the stuff they're excited about.

So the idea of today's show is to give you some gift ideas for other people or maybe some things to put on

your own list. Katie and I have been busy spending money the last year buying some

tech gear and we want to share the stuff that we like most and we got some

great feedback from the listeners as well we have some some good ideas from them as

well. But before we do we have perhaps the ultimate holiday gift for everyone on your list for people this year and

that is hopefully we have an MPU hoodie in the works.

Yes we do.
