"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other."
-- Burton Hillis
DH had surgery last month and this has required a lot of car rides back and forth to doctor's offices for check-ups and follow-ups and what not. And due to the nature of his surgery, he is not yet able to drive long distances, so I have been doing all of the driving. These trips can be somewhat monotonous, especially when then kids are with us. And on occasion, one of their electronic devices runs out of batteries. *The Horror*
Well, I was ready for it this last time with a rousing Christmas rendition of Would you rather? For those of you who don't know the game, the premise if very simple. You ask the question would you rather, and then you have a choice of two answers. Boys like this game because when they make up the questions, they inevitable involve something gross like eat your own boogers, or eat someone else's earwax. Ewwwwww. But you get the picture.
Birthday Party Ideas 4 Kids has a Christmas version of this game. With a wide variety of questions. Would you rather be in a scene from the movie Home Alone or Elf? (Me - Elf. The kids - Home Alone) Would you rather wrap 100 presents or decorate 10 trees? (Me - wrap presents. The kids - decorate trees.)Would you rather have a red Rudolph nose or a Frosty button nose? (I don't think we got a straight answer on this one.) You get the idea. And we usually require our kids to give their reasons - it turns into some pretty hilarious and thought-provoking discussions.
