Getting ahead this holiday season, with help from Microsoft

As we enter the thick of holiday season, family “to do” lists grow in length – coordinating dinners, celebrations, travel, and gift giving can seem never ending. Microsoft Windows and Southwest Airlines have joined together to help alleviate one part of your checklist, in the form of free holiday photos. Picture Perfect Holiday is now available at 21 airport and shopping locations across the country, including Boston’s Logan Airport, offering the chance for you and your loved ones to snap photos with Santa or a holiday background.

 If you are taking your own holiday photo, we know that with multiple children and pets, taking a coordinated family photo can often turn into a debacle (but makes for hilarious jokes later on in life). With the free Windows Live photo-editing tools, you can edit, share and print copies of your pictures – which can also be done right from the kiosks in your local area! If you are looking for additional tools to help you get that great shot with the family, Photo Fuse in Windows Live Photo Gallery offers the perfect solution this holiday season.

 If that wasn’t great news, there are also prizes available! Enter the Windows and Southwest Airlines Holiday Sweepstakes for a chance to win a Windows 7 PC every day, one of 10 Epson Artisan 730 printers or the grand prize of free flights for a year on Southwest Airlines.
