2) TouchNote is a truly fantastic application for iPhone, iPad and Android that allows you to create greeting cards to really send to friends. The postcard is authentically personalized: you write the greeting message on a piece of paper, photograph the card with your iPhone and then insert the message in a graphic model chosen among the many available. In the end, this postcard can be sent home for a small fee of around 3 Euros.
I have not tried this service personally, but if you like the idea, we have seen in another article how to send real postcards or greeting cards from mobile phones .
3) Norad Santa Tracker for iPhone and Google Santa Tracker for Android are the two applications, which I have already talked about, to follow Santa Claus online and know when he arrives. In addition to the countdown, these two apps also have many fun games especially the one from Google which has delicious graphics, ideal for children to play.
4) ElfYourself is perhaps the most successful Christmas app ever, released at the end of 2013 and available for Android and iPhone.
As already written in another article, Elfyourself is one of the apps to create videos of elves or Santa Claus dancing with our face that can be used to have 4 laughs with friends and to send greetings in a fun way. The apps are easy to use and allow you to use our photographs in order to put the face of whoever you want over the body of these elves who dance happily on the screen.
5) PHOTO2cards for iPhone is a nice application to create greeting cards with your own photo and send it via Facebook or other social networks, simply and automatically.

7) Talking Santa is an app for Android and iPhone that everyone will enjoy. It is a game similar to the famous Talking Tom, except that instead of the cat, there is Santa Claus who can be made to speak with our voice to create video messages to be sent also via Whatsapp. Ideal, in addition to having fun, also to send greetings to friends.
8) Santa App is an application that simulates the arrival of Santa Claus at home to make his children believe that he is bringing gifts. The phone must be hidden in the room where there will be gifts and the application will make Santa speak, say the name of the children and use the flash to make light.
SantaApp can be downloaded for iPhone and iPad and for Android.
9) The Christmas background with countdown timer is an exclusive for Android, for those who really want to be ready with Christmas and experience it from before.
10) Always only for Android, the background with falling snow, ideal to keep on the smartphone on Christmas days.
11) Christmas Radio, for iPhone and Android, is ideal for listening to selected and continuous Christmas music using your mobile phone as a stereo (perhaps connecting it to external speakers). All the songs are streamed like a radio dedicated to Christmas was heard.
If you don't like it, as already written in the article on the best Christmas music to listen to online, Christmas music can also be listened to from Spotify for free for Android and iPhone.
12) The advent calendar, the one where every day looks like a window to discover the surprise until Christmas day arrives, can be obtained on smartphones in many different versions. To make a single name I can recommend the advent calendar for Android and iPhone or iPad.
13) Card games for Android and iPhone, ideal for spending the Christmas holidays with friends, even virtually from the tablet or mobile phone screen.
14) Christmas Ringtones, to download and choose a phone ringtone with the melody of a Christmas song.
A similar app always for Andorid is Ringtones and Christmas backgrounds
15) Finally, the Facebook Messenger, Instagram and Snapchat apps cannot be cited in this list.
Facebook and Facebook Messenger offer many nice Christmas photo montages on his camera, to be applied immediately, while Instagram has Christmas stickers to put on the photos.
Snapchat, on the other hand, allows not only to use the stickers to take Christmas pictures, but also a very fun game where the protagonist is an elf with our face. Once Snapchat is installed, you can use the filters in real time to take a selfie with Santa's hat or with other effects to disguise yourself and then, instead of sending the Snap, you can save the photo in the roll to share it on Whatsapp or Facebook or other chats. Snapchat is perhaps the best app for taking a Christmas selfie.
