Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- What could spread holiday cheer faster than
sending your mother a custom-choreographed North Pole Dancing Santa
personalized with your face or a personally-carved Virtual Ice
Sculpture shaped by a chainsaw to your officemate across the hall?
OfficeMax(R) (NYSE:OMX), a leader in office products and services,
announces the simultaneous launch of 20 new holiday-themed Web
sites with games and video to help celebrate the season by sharing
cutting-edge digital entertainment with friends and family. The
OfficeMax Holiday Web sites offer something for everyone. Visitors
can play games online, create an online wish to share or create a
humorous email message. Each Web site has a yellow OfficeMax tag
that takes visitors to the other 19 sites, or to
http://www.officemax.com/ to buy "real" holiday gifts. A brief
selection of the OfficeMax Holiday Web sites are: --
http://mistletoeinanelevator.com/ -- Uncomfortable with public
displays of affection? Now imagine being stuck in an elevator with
two office workers entranced by the power of mistletoe. You get to
watch the hidden video! -- http://conspiracycarols.com/ --
Subversive messages buried inside Christmas carols? It's better
than playing a Pink Floyd album backwards because you get to write
your own message and share it with your fellow conspiracy
theorists. -- http://everythingsareindeer.com/ -- Do these antlers
make me look fat? This season's must-have accessory is a pair of
bony outgrowths that you attach to pictures of your family and
friends. -- http://stucktoapole.com/ -- Considering his tongue is
frozen to a pole, his repertoire is vast. From singing "Take Me Out
To the Ball Game" to busting the latest dance moves, this boy can
say and do quite a lot stuck to a pole. -- http://elfyourself.com/
-- Upload a picture of your face, call the special phone number,
record a personalized holiday greeting, and voila! Your face gets
digitally attached to an elf's body and your voice gets
"elf-anized". You can watch your creation repeatedly or email your
greeting to family and friends. "These entertainment-focused
holiday Web sites add fun to what can be a hectic time of year,"
said Ryan Vero, executive vice president and chief merchandising
officer for OfficeMax. "With more Christmas shopping taking place
online, it will be easy for customers to enjoy their favorite
sites, share messages with friends and family and then scan the
latest product values at OfficeMax." The holiday Web sites were
produced for OfficeMax by New York-based advertising agency Toy,
with clients including Amazon, Disney and the Oxygen Network. The
simultaneous launch of 20 unique web sites ranks among the most
launched at one time by an office supply retailer. "This playful
Web content allows us to reach customers in exciting and unexpected
ways," adds Vero, "while positioning OfficeMax as a fun destination
to find holiday Gifts That Work!" About OfficeMax(R) Incorporated
