Dress up your Pre for Christmas 4

Christmas is right around the corner, and that means it's time to get your smartphone in order for the holiday. What all do we mean by that? Well, you can start by strapping some chihuahua-sized reindeer antlers to your Pre, but in reality that's entirely optional.

What we mean is that there are plenty of things you can do with your webOS device to make the holidays easier and more merry. We'll start with just dressing it up - throw on a Christmas or winter theme or just change the wallpaper to something more festive for the season.

There are also plenty of apps to help get you through the season. If you're running late on your holiday shopping (we're sorry), grab from the App Catalog an app like Done! or Checklist Pro to keep track of what you still need to get and for whom you need to get it.

For the big holiday dinner, of course, you need recipes. And while there's always a place for your great grandmother's pumpkin pie recipe on the dinner table, sometimes you just need to mix things up. In comes Epicurious, with the combination of 30,000 recipes and the shopping lists to go with them. If it happens to be a Hanukkah feast you're planning, then we'll point you to Kosher2Go, which will help you find kosher food establishments in over fifty countries.

And if you've got kids to satisfy, your TouchPad has a number of delightful childrens tales available for the holiday season, including Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
