Instead of smoking, I have been preparing and prepping for my family’s Christmas game. I bought the materials and prizes today. They are going to kill me but this is too hilarious! I can’t take credit for the idea of course. I have been testing this game out BY MYSELF to see which would be easier/harder for the kids/elderly; ping pong balls or little bells. Thank goodness nobody can see me doing this in my living room by myself. I am cracking myself up.
Here is one of the many links on YouTube.
This looks like fun.
HAHAHA Thats hysterical! You better video your game and share it
Tons of fun for sure, I'm with Missy I hope you'll video and share it with us.
Doing something for your family is a great distraction from smoking. Too many times we miss family stuff so that we can go outside to smoke. Glad to see you've not only quit but are finding ways to be even closer with your family.
Marilyn.H.July.14.14. and Mandolinrain...Ohhhhh ladies... there is a lot of junk in this trunk. I don't know if you want to see that! Hahahaha.
Anybody else have any games they play? Every holiday we play Left, Center, Right (LCR). It can get pretty intense. LOL
LCR Dice Game can be a Fun Party Game – All About Fun and Games
FUN AND EXERCISE! You go grl-non smoker life style and slim too! YAHOOO-GOOD JOB!
We used to play a game when I was a kid and the family gatherings were pretty big. Everyone bought a gift and put it under the tree...there were some really NICE gifts and some really hilarious gag gifts, you could trade when you got your gift...the best gift basically went to the LAST person. I guess we passed out numbers, I really don't remember except that there was a LOT of laughter.
elvan Sounds like White Elephant? We used to play that too. I got rid of all my mannequin heads from beauty school that way. Haha

What a bunch of fun that would be to play...My family gatherings have quite a few trunks that could pass for tractor trailers....;-)....But hey, after they get to drinking those holiday cheers long enough....anything can come from that crew...they are a blast on Christmas Eve...I will be attending a local meeting during some of it....but I still plan to be around for most of the festivities.....one thing is for sure...I will not be losing my quit due to alcohol....that is for sure.....after all....this is getting to be a rather significant amount of time now....one day at a time....Pops has 82 DOF!
Here you go Mandolinrain and Marilyn.H.July.14.14.. I’m the second group.
Notice my super cute puppy going after the ping pong balls.
Cute. Looks like everyone had a good time. Merry Christmas.

Let’s see if I can get the extended family to play today...
The extended family did not play. They’re lame! Haha
Looks like such a fun time (and some good exercise to work off some of those cookies, too)!
Merry Christmas!
Could Hoggie do this?
I think Hoggie would do a great job playing! My 15 year old pup had fun chasing the ping pong balls.
HAHAHAHA, this looks absolutely hilarious! I will have to keep this for some family gathering at some point...I would not have been able to do it this year because I couldn't breathe but what a great time everyone seems to be having. Thanks for sharing this.
XO,

What a riot! I'll be passing this on to my family. And maybe this is something that everybody could do at the next EX reunion! But how do you attach the string to the tissue box? Just poke a hold through either end?
Giulia That would be a great game to play at the EX Reunion.
I used jump ropes (cut the handles off) I got at the dollar store as the string. I hole punched a hole on each side of the kleenex box and fed the rope through. I also used packing tape to make sure the box didn't rip.
It was hilarious! I was surprised my nephew got totally into it! My poor brother (Bryan- Flannel shirt) kept losing and I made him keep playing so he could win a prize. Hahaha
I made him keep playing
Evil little sister! lol It's just great to see everybody having so much fun.
My balls came out quick (I retyped this a gazillion times because each way I worded it sounded dirty to me. I gave up. Hahaha). I had a lot of practice by myself because i wanted to see if ping pong balls or jingle bells would be easier/harder and to make sure the boxes didn't fall apart. I didn't want it too hard for my parents or my 2 year old niece. I made her her own special box but she just stood and watched the crazy adults.
I cut out the parts of the videos when we were chasing my dog to get the balls from her. That was entertaining as well.
Just use the adjective "ping pong" before the word balls and you'll be fine! HA And the dog got in the act too. A memorial day was had by all.
This is too funny! You guys will have so much fun!
