Home with the kids? A kid yourself? Play around on these sites to keep your holiday spirit soaring. These are GG’s favorite holiday sites:
Elf Yourself: This is a classic from Office Max. This will easily turn you into an elf in about 45 seconds. All you need to do is upload one photo of yourself and, poof, you’re an elf!! Your elf can disco, do the hoe-down or whatever else tickles your elfish soul.
Make a Snowman: A plethora of online paper dolls awaits you here. Scroll down to the holiday section and you will see the “Make a Snowman.” As a girl who used to own many paper dolls and bought her daughter many paper dolls – and laminated them all – the little girl in GG loves this site!

Snow Days – Catch a Falling Flake: Thank you to @mayfieldc for tweeting this! This is sooo cool! Create your own snowflake, write a message on it, and send it out to the world!!! Beautiful!

Personalized Santa Video: Another thank you to @mayfieldc for this one!! This is so easy yet so cool. Create a personalized video message from Santa in a matter of a moment!

Collection of Holiday Sites: Here is a plethora of holiday sites linked together for your use. Everything from recipes for the 12 days of Christmas to the historical origins of holiday traditions can be found here. I wish I would have found this one sooner this year!! This one has some potential classroom work as well.
