APH Holiday Gift Guide 2011

The Weeks Before Christmas

by Michael McCarty, APH Social Media Coordinator

‘Twas weeks before Christmas, Santa's short on time,
“I need accessible gifts for those who are blind!”

He’s been watching the weather for snow and for ice.
He checks the time with his talking ZeitGeist.

“What can I do?” he pleads to his spouse.
“Dear, shop online at American Printing House.”

“You know I forgot about the shop APH site.
It’ll sure come in handy on a night like tonight.”

“I’ll grab my list and fire up my Mac,
Accessible gifts I’ll have in my sack.”

“Look at the books, what a selection!
I’ll pick this title from Chrissy’s Collection.”

“I know one book I’ll sure be taking,
It’s a hardcover keepsake, APH History in the Making.”

“Sam really likes puzzles, he likes them a ton,
Slide, Twist 'N Solve will give him some fun.”

“Speaking of games for kids of all ages,
This book lists dozens -- pages and pages!”

“Bob's on my 'Good' list, everything checks,
He'll get the compass game APH TREKS.”

“Betty's netbook is cool, but she has some queries,
I’m sure she would learn from the Verbal View series.”

“Juan and Sally work out, they like to stay fit!
So I'll give them this special sound Tennis Kit.”

“Everyone knows the importance of braille.
Practice makes perfect with the Compact Swing Cell.”

“Trevor needs to keep track of phone numbers and dates,
He can’t go wrong with the MiniBook Slate.”

“In the stockings this year, I’ll know what to hide,
APH’s redesigned Signature Guide.”

“When Keisha is given a card with some money,
The iBill will tell her ‘five,’ ‘ten,’ or a ‘twenty’.”

“To count down the days to the next Yuletide,
I’ll keep an art calendar close by my side”

“It looks like I’m done, man I’m so tired.
It’s back to my chair to relax by the fire.”

Santa closes his eyes and starts to snore.
He’s glad he remembered shop.aph.org.
