For some people, the holidays are all about relaxing at home. If you have extra time on your hands, do yourself a favor and organize your messy photo collection. Tap or click to see how I get the job done.

Are you visiting family? Look for your favorite old photos hanging on their walls or tucked away in albums. Tap or click for an app to scan them without any glare.

And if you laughed at the words "extra time," I’m here for you, too. Here are a handful of simple ways to get through the holidays with a smile on your face.

The classic holiday battle: What time should you leave the house to get to your destination on time and avoid traffic?

Stop guessing and let traffic-predicting algorithms make your drive easier. Google Maps and Apple Maps offer options to help you plan your trip.

You can get a pretty accurate traffic forecast for a future date based on what the conditions are like on that day and time. Then you can fine-tune your departure time to find the ideal time to hit the road.

Here’s how to set a planned time and date for a trip in Google Maps:

Losing your bag on a flight is a drag, and it's even worse when you have gifts tucked in your bag. Knowing where your suitcase is is easy as long as you have a tracker inside.

Apple AirTags are quarter-sized trackers that use Bluetooth from other iPhones to determine where they are. You can see the location of every AirTag associated with your account using the Find My app. 

Tile trackers work similarly and are a good option for Android users.

It's a good idea to throw one in your checked baggage. This way, you can see whether your bag makes it to your destination. But there is a time when the tracker is worthless: When your luggage travels through the airport's inner conveyor belt system. Once your luggage is out of there, you'll know exactly where it's located.

It's not always possible to see the whole family each year. Virtual gatherings are much easier to organize since we got used to them during the pandemic.

Don’t spend a Zoom or Google Meet call wishing everyone would stop arguing about politics. Here are three simple ways to liven up your online get-together:

The English Football Association has suspended former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo two games with a fine for slapping a fan’s phone out of his hand after a game in April.

The FA released a statement on Wednesday after having an "independent Regulatory Commission" do an investigation into the incident.

"Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for two matches, fined £50,000 and warned as to his future conduct for a breach of FA Rule E3," the statement reads.

"The Regulatory Commission found that his conduct was both improper and violent during a subsequent hearing, and imposed these sanctions."

The FA also noted that Ronaldo also believed his actions following the April 9 game against Everton FC was "improper."

The 37-year-old Portuguese superstar knocked the phone out of a young fan’s hand because he thought the fan was filming his bloody leg, which was injured in the disappointing loss. He claimed it was an act of safety.

CRISTIANO RONALDO, MANCHESTER UNITED PART WAYS AFTER SOCCER STAR'S CRITICAL REMARKS

But the suspension clearly says otherwise and Ronaldo admitted to his actions being wrong.

Ronaldo publicly apologized via Instagram to the fan after the video of the incident went viral.

"I would like to apologize for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship," he wrote.

"It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing. Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game."

Just before Ronaldo’s Portugal begins their 2022 FIFA World Cup journey in Qatar on Thursday, Manchester United announced Tuesday that both parties have parted ways, which comes after a controversial interview with Piers Morgan where the six-time Ballon d’Or Award winner criticized Manchester United, saying he felt "betrayed" as senior officials allegedly were trying to force him out of the building. He also mentioned having "no respect" for head coach Erik ten Hag.

Now, Ronaldo’s focus is on his national team in what could be his last World Cup.

"The pressure is more or less the same as always," Ronaldo said about his Portugal team. "I have been dealing with it since a very young age. Sometimes I do it well, sometimes I don’t. It depends on the situation, moment and heat. I am not perfect, but I feel ready to take on the pressure when I have to."

A team interested in picking up Ronaldo – and there should be a few – will have to account for that suspension when bringing him into the building.
