Chad's Pick: Christmas C@rds

Christmas C@rds is a fun little app that can take a bit of hassle out of holiday cards and make it fun on your iPhone. This app comes with more than 30 templates you can customize with colors, text and your own picture! If I wasn't married, I would go this route for my holiday cards, but the Mrs. put a stop to that. If you are in a pinch and need some great looking, fun eCards, you can't go wrong with Christmas C@rds! [$1.99 - iTunes link]

Chris' Pick: Dr. Seuss Camera Grinch Edition

I was trying out a few holiday themed apps this week, and my pick of the week is the Dr. Seuss Camera. With this app, you can take a photograph with your iPhone, and super-impose a "Grinch" scene on it to give it a holiday vibe - pretty similar to many of the other "insert your face in a scene" type of apps. From simply putting someone's face on the Grinch's body to creating more of a Christmas card type of image, there are 23 difference scenes to choose from. It's a fun way to add a little holiday cheer to your images! [$1.99 - iTunes link]
