The Tale of the Fourteen Christmas Ringers

14 Christmas Ringers
The Frost family was blessed with a son every winter.  On the arrival of their seventh son, they began a tradition of purchasing a bell and ringing it to display their joy.  After the birth of the 14th son, the eldest sons were fed up and murdered their parents with the very bells that were used to symbolize the joyous births.

The Frost boys were feared so much that a bounty hunter named Nick Claus was hired by the locals to have all 14 boys captured, tortured and killed. 

Even though the Frost boys and dead and gone their eerie spirits still live on through this interactive website in which you can listen to them play four different Christmas tunes or record your very own Christmas tune, which you can send to a friend.  Nothing says 'Merry Christmas' more than a bunch a dead guys ringing bells.

Elf and Scrooge Yourself

Zachary ScroogeLast year, OfficeMax created the very fun Elf Yourself site where you could upload a picture of yourself and send off e-cards to friends of family of you dancing around like a silly elf. They've updated their site and now you can upload up to four faces. 

If you are feeling more 'humbug' than 'ho ho ho', OfficeMax has created another site, Scrooge Yourself, which is more suited for those who are grumps during the holiday season. 

Now there are two sites for your naughty and nice sides.

Valentine's Day Post Mortem

Did you go home alone last night? Don't sweat it. You could be waking up next to one of these fine gentlemen... Or, like me, you might just be one of these lads, in which case I salute you with a big ol' can of peas. Your quality precedes you, my friends.
