We are once again hosting a holiday meal on Christmas Eve for our family. Every year I try to think of a new idea to keep the cousins on their toes. When they were really little I covered the entire table with kraft paper and left cups of crayons out for them. They aren’t so little anymore {plus my boys never colored}, but they do love to laugh together. This year we are going to play a holiday edition of Hedbanz. If you aren’t familiar with the game, each player wears a headband and tries to guess the card on his or her forehead. We will use the blue headbands but the “playing cards” will be holiday themed. I will brainstorm people, places and objects associated with winter and Christmas. A few I have thought of so far: Santa, Frosty, candy canes, Christmas tree, North Pole, stockings, hot cocoa, Rudolph, the Grinch, Cindy Lou Who. Can you think of any others?
Keeping with the holiday theme, I plan to write the words on gift tags. {That is very OCD of me and is certainly not necessary!} Kids and adults love the original version of this game, so I hope it will be a big hit! With a few cocktails it should make for great fun.
A few nights ago the boys were sweet enough to model for me and then we played a few rounds. Little Man wasn’t too thrilled about being a Unicorn. I was very comfortable with my hot dog persona.
We are looking forward to an evening filled with laughter. What games do you like to play with your family during the holidays? I would love to hear!
