Twitter is a useful tool for productivity, promotion, search and community but with a large user base that’s growing every day, I bet you never thought of a few ways Twitter can help you for Christmas.

Here’s a list of a few simple things you can do. With so many tools and profiles, I’ll let you discover those needles in a haystack and give you a few that I’ve found.

1. find your presents for a deal, perhaps using cheaptweet
2. discover last minute vacation deals
3. find or arrange great events – you can use twitvite for a simple tweetup
4. track santa at Norad
5. discover and find great Christmas recipes
6. stuck for great gift ideas – try a twitter search engine like twazzup and get realtime ideas and answers
7. share and enjoy the spirit
8. promote your favorite charity
9. find organizations in need of a volunteer
10. send a card via twitter, instead of using snail or email

It seems that life is getting more and more easy if you use the tools we are given to your advantage. Give it a try and you can continue to use these ideas for the remainder of the year.

I’d love it if you shares your Christmas twitter use in our comment thread.
