Poignant.

The dreaded season is upon us.
I’m sorry, I mean the season of goodwill to all men, except those we could never vote for and heartily despise.
As the holiday season lurches toward us, not only do we have to tolerate others — especially those to whom we’re allegedly related — but also find gifts for those whom we may not even like.
It’s emotionally draining.
Apple, though, always tries to take a higher road and lift human spirits at this time. Tries.
It doesn’t always work. Two years, Cupertino wanted you to share your AirPods with strangers for Christmas. Which managed to meld the unhygienic with the truly creepy and set it to music. A little like Cats, really.
This time, Apple has decided to embrace family values.
Mom, dad, and two young daughters set off on a long trip to visit grandad for Christmas. Grandad has just lost his wife.
The two young daughters embrace some troubling modern tendencies. They’re noisily exuberant and, naturally, only an iPad can ever shut them up.
When they survive the trauma of flying, they finally reach grandad’s house and are instantly themselves again. Unfortunately.
