TIPS FOR USING TECH TO ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS
~ Holiday Help from
Busy Celebrity Mom Alison Sweeney ~
November 2011
(Redmond, WA) - More than
half of all Americans say the thing they look forward
to the most about the holidays is spending time with
family and friends. But with all of the hectic details
of travel, party planning and shopping that come with
this time of year, it can feel like an extra full-time
job! This holiday season many families are turning to
technology to make it easier to connect with their loved
ones in meaningful, low-stress ways.
Alison Sweeney, host of TV's
"The Biggest Loser," author of "The Mommy Diet," award-winning
"Days of Our Lives" actor, and busy mom, shares how
she manages to juggle it all and keep connected, whether
during the busy holiday season or beyond. Here are some
of her suggestions:
-
Make Technology Work for You - Stay on
top of holiday to-do lists, keep the kids happy
in long holiday lines and survive inevitable airport
delays - using a smartphone can be a holiday lifesaver.
The local scout function on the Windows Phone can
help you find local places to eat, drink, shop or
enjoy holiday activities no matter what city you're
in for the holidays.
-
Stay Connected - Use the holiday season
as a time to do things together - attend a local
holiday program, hit the slopes, or grab an early
morning coffee at your favorite coffee shop. Or
stay in and create your own fun with an Xbox/Kinect
game that everyone can enjoy. Just be together.
-
Master Multitasking - Manage your holiday
budget, slip in some online shopping and create
picture-perfect family photos with a Windows PC.
With these on-the-go multi-tasking machines, you
might even give Santa a run for his money.
Regardless of your holiday
plans, technology can keep you connected to the people
you love most, creating meaningful memories that will
last a lifetime.
