Ok, I am a bit of a joker. I LOVE to laugh and play games. Here are a few of my favorites to spice up the holiday and make sure that everyone’s bellies ache from laughing so hard.
The Pregnant Turkey
The night before, pre-cook a cornish game hen. When your hostess isn’t looking, insert the cooked hen into the Turkey cavity. WARNING, you will never live this one down. I am still paying for this joke from 4 years ago.
The Never Ending Gift.
Find a bunch of nesting sized boxes, the more the better. Put the gift in the smallest one and gift wrap every single box, putting it into the next larger box. This is EXTREMELY funny when you have a TON of boxes – like 30. This works particularly well where each family member opens the gift, one at a time while everyone watches.
Pristine Christmas Tree
Have a family member who is VERY proud of their all white light pristine tree? Take a few of your blinking light bulbs and replace them into their tree when no one is looking. They won’t notice for a while but when they do, the look on their face will be priceless.
The Largest Gift – Needle in a Haystack
Go to Sears and ask for an empty refrigerator box. Ball up lots and lots of newspaper in individual pieces. Wrap the gift (hopefully pretty small) in newspaper.
The Loudest Gift
Purchase a kazoo (or any other really loud instrument) and wrap it. Put the gift with your nephew’s name on it right on the hood of the car after everyone has arrived at your home. The child will HAVE to open the gift on the way home.
Duck Taped Gift
Purchase a roll of duck tape and use it as wrapping paper. Be sure to hide all of the knives in the house before the gift opening commences.
My advice: have fun, don’t worry about your diet too much, drink plenty and really LISTEN to the laughter. It’s contagious and will add years to your life!
Have a VERY Merry Holiday Season.
