This site's been up since 1995. Some elf I guess found the log-in credentials a few years ago because the copyright date extends to 2018. There's also a "Find us on Facebook!" link on the homepage which is unsettlingly out of place given the rest of the....everything.

The biggest thing I'm wondering this year is how much Flash integration this site has, (since that's only got another couple weeks left 'til retirement) considering it pre-dates the Macromedia era. I'm gonna poke around and I'll report back.

Christmas Shopping's still working, but it's just a mad-lib. Number Guess and Christmas Puzzle are just "Update your Flash!" messages.
