Lil Tip: Elf Yourself

The holidays are fast approaching and you haven't had a chance to put Christmas cards together. Aside from the time it takes to address, stamp and mail them, photo opportunities with a family are few and far between. And, when you're busy buying presents for the kids — the additional costs can be hard on the budget. Elf Yourself is a paperless alternative.

Sponsored by OfficeMax, you can upload up to four photos on the website, as well as a song and holiday greeting. Then, you simply send your personal dancing elves link via email for friends and family to enjoy.
