What tradition you say? That time of year when you get to “Elf Yourself!” silly.

Brought to you by OfficeMax (the place you usually go to get your school supplies) and JibJab, the people that create cool and funny animated cartoons, the website lets you turn yourself into an elf. Or anyone else you want to shrink. You can create up to five.

From OfficeMax: “ElfYourself is back! At elfyourself.com — the North Pole’s hottest site — you can upload your favorite photos of friends and family dancing to 80s music, surfing waves, and trying out all eight elftastic dances…”

To get started, click here: “ElfYourself by OfficeMax – Powered by JibJab”

No problem. Through the magic of technology and the digital age, you can become an elf right here on your computer.

OfficeMax, the big store where your parents probably took you to so that you could get your school supplies over the summer, has a special website that let’s you “elf yourself” just for fun.

You can make up to five elves, so five different ones of yourself, or you and your entire family. Go check it out and have fun!

We give you the first video game that Mario appeared in before they became the Super Mario Bros., bashing Koopas and eating mushrooms. Before that, they had to fight a not-so-big-as-he-looks gorilla and rescue… Peach!

We promise this will be the last Mario game. (Or is it?).

Who needs a DS or Wii? Play right here on the web (just not at school during computer lab time– unless you have permission from your teacher) for free!

NOTE: controls— use the “left” and “right” arrows on the keyboard to move left and right; to climb a ladder, use the “up” arrow; to jump over obstacles, press the “space” bar.
