Appy Holidays from Google
Other than a bad pun, what is Google's Appy Holidays? Well, it's a surprisingly useful collection of their applications themed and ready for the holiday season.
Appy Holidays links you to Google Docs, which has templates for
things such as invitations, cards, holiday gift lifts, wish lists, gift
tags, address lists, and holiday letters. It also links to your Google
Calendar, with no holiday theme, but it does allow you to share
appointments for those cookie baking dates and holiday parties you're
attending. Appy Holidays links to Picasa to share and edit your holiday
images. Finally, it links to Google Chat's new video integration. Your
relatives aren't that far away after all.
I found the holiday templates in Google Docs incredibly useful. I've
been keeping a list of everyone we have to buy for in my head, so a
holiday spreadsheet I could easily share with my husband was the
perfect solution. Like me, you're probably familiar with the rest of
it, but I like the fact that Google has grouped it so easily in one
spot and tied it into the holidays.
