Last year, around the same time, we spotted a very interesting service that made it possible to dress five people as elfs and have them perform a dance afterwards. The Elf Yourself craze was born and it quickly became a popular website. On a sidenote, my nephew who was 4 at the time, loved to see his family dance the elf dance.
This year the Elf Yourself website has been redesigned. There is a bit more of advertisement on the website but also additional content to make up for it. Don’t worry! There is still the classic elves dance for those who might have missed it last year or cannot get enough of it.
In addition though you can now see them dance Disco, Country or Charleston as well each with a unique stage and effects. The music is obviously also different on every stage.
The developers have added possibilities to download the videos to the desktop or post them on various social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook. Expect a huge increase in Elf Yourself appearances on those sites.

Thanks for the tip. Definitely going to send around some Elf Yourself videos this year!
Is this year ElfYourself slower than last years ? I did 3 and the animation is not as fluid as before ?
Any suggestions ?
what has happened to elf yourself ?? i cant read the entire page & there is no where to scroll up or down..not to mention the whole thing is slower, in fact, it slows down my entire computer !! the arranging of the pics arent as precise as last year, there are less features to arrange the face..then once you are done, there is no editing like last year.&.if you click the back button, you are back to square one again !! too much advertising (from what i can see on the page) the video is smaller of the elfs, too…the dance to the original is not as nice, either…. is this going to get better ???—the charleston is cute , tho !!!!
have to login with info now..spam site..you and your friends will get it.Its ruined!
Barb, you are absolutely right. The ‘Elf yourself’ site isn’t as good as it was.
My computer is also going slower.
I AGREE WITH BARB TOTALLY
NOT AS GOOD AS LAST YEARS
I’m disapointed in this this year too.

Just (today) found out about elf yourself and tried it out. I was very pleased with what I did with the program but my big question is: Can you save the end result without having to go the commercial route? Also, are there additional whistles and bells with the purchased program?
