Every Christmas my wife always asked me what I want for gift and my answer is always, “I don’t want anything. I already got everything.”
  >>> Translation: “All I ever wanted for Christmas is you honey!” 

This year, however, is different. I met something very special and I even got to know it fairly well in an Apple Store at the mall: The Magic Mouse.

The best word I could describe about the Apple Magic Mouse is “freedom” -- a great mouse for your busy fingers to do multimedia work.
