Multi-link Mondays
How about another Multi-link Monday, holiday-themed this time? Feel free to use the comments section to send in your own suggested links. Thanks!
• Some people really go all out to turn their home into a spectacular holiday display. Others...well, thank you for playing. Ugly Christmas Lights features photos of those lightstravaganzas that didn't quite make the grade. A few examples: E for Effort, Suicidal Squarepants, and, my favorite, Christmas Hulk.
• Elf Yourself is back...take your favorite photo and turn that person into a dancing elf. Although I have to say, I kind of get more of a kick out of Yearbook Yourself, where you can see how you'd like in classic yearbook poses from the past. And I guess you can also Terminate Yourself.
• Ugly holiday sweater parties have become popular, although I think I donated or dumped my sure winners years ago. This site lets you make a tacky holiday sweater online and email it to a buddy.
• Not all my picks for holiday links are horrendous. Some are actually quite fun. Build your own snowman without getting your mittens dirty, with a little help from ice-cream icons Ben & Jerry. And I adore this classic online snowball-fight game, Snowcraft.
• Maybe you celebrate Festivus, the "Seinfeld" holiday "for the rest of us." Well, then you'll need a Festivus pole before you move on to the airing of grievances and the feats of strength.
