Amazon definitely knows how to get into the Christmas spirit. To celebrate the world's biggest gift-giving holiday, the Appstore is giving away over $40 in paid apps for free. There are 11 apps and games in the list, including a few big names like Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Angry Birds Star Wars II. It shouldn't be hard to find something for everybody.

About half of these apps have been given away as part of the Free App of the Day in the past, but this is an opportunity to claim those you've missed.

These apps are only free for today, so hurry hurry over and claim them before those pesky prices return. Don't forget to download at least one app before the 28th so you can also claim a $5 Appstore credit!
