My Windows 8 PCs aren’t touch… I think I want to get a Surface next.
Great giveaway! Thank you!
I want to get a Microsoft Windows Surface Pro so badly!
I LOVE all of the new Windows apps!! And pairing them with the amazing cameras on the phones is a done deal for me. I just need a Windows phone now
I love the holiday cards app esp since I have so many people connected via social media 🙂
Definitely Where’s Santa!
We used the Norda app last year! It was so fun tracking where Santa was!!!
instagram of course!
I remember using the Norad website when I was a child. Now it’s an app! How times have changed.
I am so excited to check out the Hallmark Go Cards app. This is perfect for the holiday cards I have yet to make.
I would love to try the card store app. That would be fun to make my own cards!!
I’m so excited Windows 8 now has Instagram! The cards app sounds really cool, I haven’t done mine yet this year, so behind!
So fun! The Santa Tracking one sounds like a blast!
These sound like fun! The NORAD Tracks Santa is so neat for the little kiddos. Love that!
My kids would love the Crayola app for sure!
We track santa every year. It would be convenient to do it right from my phone!
I always enjoy tracking Santa with Norad. That’s been around for a long time, I think, but not in app form.
We love tracking Santa through Norad! I have a MAC, but my husband recently got a Windows 8 touch screen…it is very cool! I was actually thinking of buying one since the kids are getting older and always want to use the computer. They can never use mine since I’m always on it! lol I will definitely keep that in mind about purchasing before 12/28!
I love Holiday apps. Especially holiday card apps. I love the holidays. So much fun. And my daughter totally enjoys the apps.
We’ll definitely be downloading the NORAD Santa-tracker this year. Maybe if my daughter thinks Santa is on the way, she might actually go to bed before midnight for once!
