Go elf yourself!

(Note from Steve: Before you go clicking on all the links below and wondering why they don’t work, I should tell you that Office Max has removed all of the previously created elves from their servers. I only leave this post here because they still offer the free service every year and it’s fantastic to use during the Christmas season.) The one year that I wasn’t able to play #1 Elf at my employer’s Christmas breakfast (due to budgetary constraints, I imagine) I discovered this seasonal web site. It’s called Elf Yourself, and unfortunately I’m too late to tell my bosses to do just that–watch it now, read it slowly, pronounce it carefully–or to use it to point out their obvious lack of forethought on their part to improve employee morale. However this whimsical website’s simplistic method of spreading holiday cheer is just too good to pass up.
Spend 5 minutes searching for the perfect photo of your face (or taking one) and another couple minutes uploading and creating your elf and then send it off to the recipients of your choosing. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, I’ll lay money that an animation’s worth more, so I’ll quit now and point you toward mine.
Happy New Year’s, be safe and have fun.
Number One Elf, Steve

I threw one together for Lisa too. Put the link to your Elf here in the comments. We’d love to see them!

Never one to be outdone, and despite the fact that I’m recuperating from my manhood being snipped today, I too have joined the fracus and created my own Elfishness.

Unfortunately Office Max has removed all of the previously created elves from their site. Too bad I couldn’t figure out a way to capture it and keep it on my hard drive. Maybe next year.
