It’s a Holly Jolly Christmas and one of the jolliest Chritmas activites for my family include playing our favorite Christmas Games. If you are anything like me you are always on the hunt for new Christmas traditions and a few years back I stumbled on my favorite one yet – Christmas Game Night(s). Each year when our Elf on the Shelf arrives they always bring a new or family favorite Christmas game for us to play together. On the night our elves arrive is usually when we sit down to write our family Christmas bucket list for the year. It’s no surprise that Christmas game night fills the calendar on more than one day. Family game nights are a huge part of our regular family traditions but have something magical to play together really adds to the spirit of the holidays.
In addition, each year we try to host a holiday party for our friends and some of these games have become a standard part of those events. Christmas game nights are a great holiday party idea to try with your friends this year. Getting together with friends is a great way to spend the holiday and easily one of my favorite Christmas traditions for couples.
Christmas Themed Board Games Make a Wonderful Family Tradition
Every Christmas Eve our children are allowed to open one present, which is usually a board game. For the last few years, we’ve gifted them with one of the Christmas-themed board games below. Each of them loves to see what Christmas-themed game awaits them under their favorite wrapping.
Playing Christmas games is a wonderful Christmas Eve tradition because it helps do something that’s normally difficult – keep kids occupied! Before we started this yearly tradition it was so hard to keep the children in our family entertained – who can blame them? The anticipation of Christmas as a child simply cannot be beat! Now we spend a few hours playing their new games and some Christmas classics from years prior. It helps both us and them calm down before the big night ahead.
