Holidays bring out the best in people, but mostly it’s a good excuse to sit around and eat lots of food. What better way to exercise off the calories than with apps on the iPod Touch. Remember, nothing says the holidays like the App store does!
Touch on the Holidays
Holidays are times for friends and families to gather and enjoy each other’s company. It’s also a good time to pull out the iPod Touch and show off some great apps that are holiday-centric. It might not get you off the hook from Aunt Ellen squeezing your cheeks, but at least it will keep your fingers busy.
365 Holiday Calendar
Not sure when Thanksgiving is this year or Christmas? Or Hanukah for that matter? How about Mother’s Day? Stop taxing that useless memory and use this app instead. You can shake it to go to today’s date, find out when the holidays are coming for the US or Canada - even get more information online without leaving the app. Go ahead and search for the Druid’s favorite day, it’s there you betcha!
New Year
Actually it should be called “New Year Countdown” because that is what it does - count down the time till that ball drops in Times Square. There’s space for entering in those old resolutions too. But the real question is what happens when the counter hits zero and the New Year begins? Sorry, you'll have to wait and see.
Christmas List
Can you remember who's been naughty and who's been nice? If not, this app will help you do so. It can get your contacts automatically as well as provide needed detail space for noting what kind of gifts to get.Plus built-in password protection so others can't sneak a peek.
There's even a budget feature for helping you save a few dollarts so you can get something for yourself too.
Zodiac and Chinese New Year
Is it the year of the rat again? Who know - hey, this app does. It even knows the zodiac and can give you your chinese sign and the date for next year’s big bash in Chinatown. C’mon don’t be so provincial, it's time to go global.
