Christmas Lights Hero

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 

Kids love playing video games. But they also need some time outside. What if you could combine the two? And throw in a little Christmas spirit, too?

This family did it. They can play video games on their garage door with Christmas lights. All it took was a copy of Guitar Hero and an electrical genius. If you have those two things available, youre good.

Dancing With The Elves

This time of year, Santa gets all of the attention. Kids write letters to him and visit him at the mall. And, youll see Santas face everywhere you look.

This makes me feel sorry for all the elves at the North Pole. They put in long hours making toys and helping Santa.

Well, today were going to forget about Santa for just a moment and focus on the elves. Were going to join in on their revelry and merry-making!

At todays Cool Site, you can turn yourself into an elf. Then, turn a few of your friends and family members into elves, too!

Start by uploading a photo of yourself to the site. You can upload photos from your computer or from Facebook.

The site will put your photo on an elfs head. You can fine tune the image and then upload your friends photos.

When youre done, select a dance for the elves. Then, e-mail your creation to friends. Or share it on Facebook or Twitter.

Oh what fun youll have as a dancing digital elf!
