Ayzenberg has an iOS app that’s sure to help relieve any holiday-related stress.  It’s Punch A Holiday Bear for iPhone and iPad.

The name says it all.  The touch-enabled app is essentially an interactive toy — a big virtual teddy bear that you can beat the fluff out of by tapping on it.

“Just punch me, I am a holiday bear who loves you.  I am made out of stuffing and you can’t hurt me so just go ahead and whale on me in the comfort of your own phone,” says the Bear.

He means it.  He takes a licking and keeps on ticking, just like a tough old mall Santa.
