Looking for something sublimely ridiculous to waste some time on during this holiday season? Go ahead and Elf Yourself at elfyourself.com, along with 2 billion others. You can also “elf” significant others, parents, dogs, cats, etc., and there are several different themes available in which to hopelessly humiliate yourself.

For music lovers, there’s a dandy rendition of Handel’s “Messiah” live from the Sydney Opera House at ab.co/3qdqzD8. “The Nutcracker” is a traditional must-see, so put on your tutu and watch the Russian State Ballet perform at bit.ly/BalletNut.

And, for holiday classics, there’s “White Christmas” with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. Do watch “A Christmas Carol,” starring Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge, in all his miserly glory. Both are at DailyMotion.com.

Don’t forget “It’s a Wonderful Life” with James Stewart and Donna Reed on Vimeo.com, and last, but surely not least, the animated version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” at Archive.org, starring 1940s horror movie star Boris Karloff’s gruff voice. Just don’t let the Grinch steal your Christmas!
