I will never forget the Christmas I turned 11. I won’t tell you how long ago that was–but it was a while back. That was the year my grandpa came to Christ, and the Christmas season became even more beautiful and magical for our family.
My granny had always gone out of her way to make Christmas special for her six grandchildren. But my frugal grandpa wasn’t keen on it. However, that year everything changed.
He set up games that we all played while Granny wore a feather boa. She was his Vanna White.
I couldn’t tell you one present I received that year. But I could never forget all the fun we had and the memories we made.
Of course, presents are the big draw at Christmas. But there are lots of other ways to make memories during the holiday season.
Playing a Christmas trivia game with your family and friends is a great way to get everyone involved and get lots of smiles!
