The fifth free gift from Apple's 12 Days of Christmas app for those who use the Thai iTunes store, is Home Alone: all 1 hour 42 minutes of it. It arrived in the small hours as I checked shortly after midnight and Day 4 was still shown.

This is one of the most popular movies and made a star of Macauley Culkin, but the supporting cast also did a great job, especially the mother played by Catherine O'Hara and the two criminals, led by Joe Pesci.

So far we have had:

• Tunes from Justin Timberlake, live at the iTunes Festival in London
• A game called Tiny Thief
• A great app in Halftone 2
• Toca House - a children's game

According to Arron Hirst on RazorianFly, The Ice Princess was the Day 3 gift in the UK, while in the USA the gift was Lonely Planet's "Best In Travel 2014"
