The Christmas games are definitely pouring in, but strangely enough, two of the games from yesterday involve Santa being less than nice. A couple of other games involve performing good deeds, but one actually allows players to perform a good deed in the real world. Also, take note that most of the games are either $.99 or $2.99, but be careful with the $2.99 games. Only a few seem to offer enough gameplay to be worth the extra couple of bucks (Steam Wars, Kibble Katch and Secret of the Lost Galleon).
Adventure Girl ($.99) - Help a girl fly safely through the sky with her many balloons by drawing out her flight path.
Bugs Hunter at Home ($.99) - Throughout 10 missions, use the touch controls to catch (but not kill, it seems) all of the bugs.
Doki Doki Bloki ($.99) - Use the numbers surround a grid to fill in the grid squares and draw a picture. This game was based on the popular Japanese picture puzzle game, Nonograms.
Good Deed 5 ($.99) - Perform good deeds for other such as returning balloons to a young girl and retrieving a handicapped man's lost documents.
Hippo High Dive ($.99) - Help the hippo leap off a high dive, fall through the flaming hoops and land in the tiny pool of water. The game features really cute, well done hand-drawn graphics.
iGet Them - Christmas ($.99 and free for lite version) - In this first episode of a new puzzle series, players take on the role of an elf who must retrieve all of the Christmas presents scattered throughout the level.
Jigami ($2.99) - Place tiles to match the symbols and capture other tiles. The player with the most captured tiles wins.
Joovia Extreme Sports ($.99) - Joovia thinks that sports are only fun if they are dangerous, and it's your job to protect her from flying objects. You can't control her, but you can control an umbrella that can cover her head.
Kibble Katch ($2.99) - This game actually allows you to have a little fun and help real dogs in need. The goal is to catch falling kibble with a bowl, and when you catch 250 pieces of kibble, www.freekibble.com will send food to Halo Pets to feed real shelter dogs.
LetsTans ($1.99) - Solve Tangram puzzles in a variety of new ways. Hunt for the target Tangram shape in a sea of tans mosaics (in Where's Waldo style) or find the seven different tans that would be needed to fill the Tangram shape.
Match Signs (free) - Arrange the stone tiles so that all adjacent symbols match one another.
Parashoota ($.99) - Shoot down all paratroopers from the sky as they try to land near your base and bomb it.

Steam Wars ($2.99 and free for lite version) - Choose your character and follow your arch enemy from planet to planet in a game that combines steam punk and elements of Super Mario Galaxy.
