Look around you. Listen to the music. Breathe in the cinnamon spiced candles and put on a heavy coat, because the holiday season in southern New England is officially back!

There’s so much to do!

AT&T has highlighted various apps that will help remove the stress from the holidays and prepare you for just about everything. As the countdown to Christmas continues to tick, download these apps in order to make the most of this year’s Yuletide cheer.

First things first, get your holiday shopping lists organized. The Better Christmas List apps lets you keep track of who you have to buy for, and it lets you plan shopping trips to various local stores. The Red Laser app lets shoppers scan the barcodes of certain items in order to compare and contrast prices at stores and online markets. Finally, the Gift Processor app solves the most stressful holiday shopping problem: It helps you come up with shopping ideas when you’re stumped. Just answer a few questions about your recipient, and the app will create a list of suggestions – it’s perfect for last-minute buyers!

Aside from shopping, there are so many other fun activities you and your family can do together to ring in the holidays.

While you decorate your tree, play some seasonal tunes by downloading the Christmas Carols playlists from the app store. Do some seasonal baking with help from the Christmas Cooking Recipes. Make your house a winter wonderland by checking out some of the step-by-step tips on the Christmas Decorations app.

Finally, on Christmas Eve, stay up late together tracking Santa Claus’s journey around the globe with the Where is Santa Lite app.

All of these apps are sure to help you organize your holiday shopping lists, and create some seasonal fun for you and your family.

Happy holidays!
