Our family has a few traditions surrounding Christmas. Our first tradition happens on December 23. Every year we have a family gathering at Grandpa and Grandma Jones's house. Grandpa makes his traditional soup and lasagna. This year we brought crackers with warm spinach dip
and a plateful of homemade health food.
We have a couple of traditional games we play.
The Hat Game is a lot like musical chairs, only using hats.
Hailey thinks McKay looks particularly fetching in his pink hat.
Ashley says she prefers her man in a little French beret number.
The object of the game is to try and keep a hat on your head at all times.

When the person to your right takes your hat,
you grab the hat from the person on your left and put it on before the music stops.
On person is eliminated each round, until only one person is left wearing a hat.
We also played "Fuzzy Bunny"--everyone takes a marshmallow, puts it in their mouth, and says "Fuzzy Bunny". One more marshmallow is added each round until you can't hold any more marshmallows in your mouth.
The person who can get the most marshmallows in and still speak is the winner.
We were surprised to learn Megan's mouth couldn't hold very many marshmallows. I thought for sure she had the biggest mouth there.....

Sadly, our last 23rd tradition, a visit from Santa, had to be canceled when Santa had a last minute conflict. Hopefully he makes an appearance in a couple of days.
