Elf Yourself!

In 2006 a website was created in America where you could upload a picture of yourself, friends or family members and see them dancing as an elf, complete with the full elf costume and some hilarious dance moves! This soon became a global sensation with people "elfing themselves" and sending it on to friends, families, work colleagues, etc all over the world. It is only launched for the festive season so as a result has a short-lived success every year around December time. However this was all a cunning ploy for an American office supply company called OfficeMax who wanted to get more exposure for their company, so when the elves are having a break from dancing if you go onto the elf yourself website the company is selling their products!! Crazyyyy!! but a very clever move as once you've "elfed yourself", you'll never forget the killer moves you were cutting and how you look in an elf costume!! If you want to elf yourself i don't suggest going onto the website until December,  unless you're looking for some office supplies of course!
