CLEVELAND, Nov. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Remember a
time before instant gratification when the anticipation of
Christmas truly added enjoyable excitement to the season? Capture
that magic again with the brand-new Countdown to Christmas desktop
app from American Greetings. This digital countdown is a fun and
creative way to experience the spirit of joy and hope that
surrounds the holidays. Spend quality time with your family
interacting with and personalizing the Countdown to Christmas
winter wonderland, and watch with wonder as the clock on the mantel
counts down the days, hours and even seconds to Christmas!
The app opens to reveal a warm, inviting living room with a
beautiful ornament that appears on the festive tree. Every ornament
brings new surprises, and completing each activity adds more
Christmas decorations and embellishments to the room before
unlocking the next ornament. Gather around the computer with your
loved ones to decorate a unique holiday sweater or share a smile as
you watch a cute and comical video. Whether you're selecting a
favorite pet to keep you warm by the fire, playing a game or just
trimming the tree, there's always something magical happening!
"Personalizing the holiday scene in the Countdown to Christmas
digital experience is the perfect way to involve the entire family
in the anticipation of Christmas
Day," said Eliza Wing,
director of digital brands at American Greetings. "Giving the gift
of family time and a shared experience by sending this desktop app
to friends and family is a great alternative to material
gifts."
