3. Team up
What better time to enjoy one of America’s favorite pastimes – like game night? Gather your loved ones (and friends) and team up for a good oldfashioned game of Spades, Pictionary, or go-to board game. Our picks:
Clue: You’ll be on the edge of your seat while playing this famous mystery game. Tip: Turn the lights down to really set the mood!
Scrabble Twist Game: Before “Words with Friends,” there was Scrabble. To attract a new generation of tech-savvy gamers, Hasbro recently released a handheld electronic version of their classic board game, where players must tap and twist the device to make the letters appear, before racking up points.
Pie Face! Game: It’s way better than getting slimed! Grab some whipped cream and place a small amount on the “hand” of this hilarious game unit and start turning the handles. It’s bound to go splat at any time. The suspense—it’s killing us!
4. Go local
Take advantage of the good outdoors and go local. Whether you’re in a big city or miles from civilization, communities are showing up and showing out for the holiday season – offering a wide variety of school lead musicals, Christmas tree lighting ceremonies, festivals, parades, Santa readings (most likely at your local library) and so much more. For more information on holiday shenanigans, check your local paper.
