One of my favorite parts of Christmas, of slowing down and gathering with friends and family, is playing games. No one has anywhere else to be, bellies are full, and Christmas music is playing in the background. It’s super cheesy and a little cliched but there’s truth in it too, the coming together, the easy laughter, and the spirit of the season. It just makes things a little sweeter.
I hope your Christmas was full of child-like wonder, slow days spent enjoying family and friends, and maybe a competitive game or two. That you won, of course.
Mexican train! We play that game at family gatherings also. Our big event is Sunday, we had to postpone it due to my poor sister-in-law being ill. I imagine the dominos will make an appearance there. Love the photo of the glasses on the kids!
I always forget how much I love Mexican train until we dig it out of the closet again. 🙂
