Christmas Games
Category Christmas
I'm not sure where we came up with it, but last year the family started playing a game where we would look for Christmas Trees on cars and get points for them. We'd try to see who got the most trees.
The rules are relatively simple. The tree MUST by on or in the car. Today we were out and drove by a a tree lot and saw a tree getting ready to go - but it wasn't on the car yet. The first one to call it gets the point.
We've since expanded it to included some recognition for other decoration. Around here some people will put wreaths on the front of their car. We've even seen a couple of cars with Reindeer antlers out the windows and a big red "Nose" on the front of the car. Since that's so rare, we're calling it 2 points for the wreaths and antlers.
I think I'm leading in the tally with 27 to my wife's 26. The kids being 5 and 8 are doing well as they're both in double digits.
Just a silly game that we like to do as a build up to Christmas...
Here are two pictures. In the second one you can see TWO cars with trees on them.

I've seen about the ice storms up North. I hope everyone there is warm and safe. I remember working in Philadelphia in the winter of 93 and we were hit with Ice storm after ice storm. There was no fun at all in that.
