Hilarious. A wonderfully simple, fun and pleasant online consumer experience that has tons of viral power. Check out me, my mom, my sister and grandma all doing the elf boogie. Helped to start shift my old school perspection of Office Max.

Hi I'm also having trouble, after many attempts yesterday I received a message saying that because of heavy demand, there was problem with the site - is this true?
Posted by: Tania | Saturday, December 01, 2007 at 07:15 PM
