Last year, my wife and son conspired together and got me a package of 5 hot sauces that had increasing heat levels. My son carefully seasoned several chips with each sauce, and we had a Hot Ones style interview and answer period at our kitchen table over the course of the Christmas afternoon, where my son played Sean Evans and asked questions. It was actually a really thoughtful and great gift; he knows I love spicy foods, and Hot Ones, and he asked good questions and it was nice to sit and talk while we were hanging out in each other's presence on a holiday.

With many endless thanks, and a wish for your safe travels this season.
Edit: I also just want to guess and guess and guess games, but I wanted to get out of this without having accumulated too many more games, but I was worn down by all the great prompts, even listening to a Lana Del Ray song or two.

Last year at Easter, I got a bunch of Cadbury mini eggs before we played, and replaced the game eggs with mini eggs. When I first spent an egg to play a bird, I took the egg off, looked my son right in the eyes and (from his point of view) ate a game piece. He thought I was crazy, then couldn't stop laughing when he figured out all the eggs were chocolate.
And he laughs like a cartoon hyena, so it was doubly funny.

aphoenix (edited )Link ParentSo that means even more of us will be able to draw 4 bonus cards and keep 1 at the end of the game? I have to stop playing Wingspan and only thinking of birds in terms of what their cards do.So that means even more of us will be able to draw 4 bonus cards and keep 1 at the end of the game?

Christmas times around the console with the kids is one of those classic great memories that I also have. Food and games and loved ones and warmth with the tree and the lights and a fire in the fireplace... hard to beat!
The best demonym for us is "Tilderen" in my books, but Tildoes or Tildeans is great as well. Merry Christmas!

It's awesome that though your story is only 5 lines long, it shows a fair bit of globetrotting - friends from canada from switzerland visiting texas. I love getting together with long time friends, especially over holidays.
I should get a hot tub.

That's a cool memory! We do something similar but totally different - we gather on Christmas Eve and the kids get their special Christmas PJs, and we have shortbread . So similar vibe - open a gift, have a specific food - but totally different gifts and food.
Merry Christmas, enjoy the game!

I really liked the long dark as a survival game; it is eerie and beautiful. Beware, it is cold and dark and there are wolves chasing you!
I'm glad that you no longer see the holidays as a time to be dreaded, and thank you for sharing that story.

That sounds like a lovely Christmas memory, and it's how I like my christmas holidays to be as well. We have tried to keep a similar vibe; PJs, board games, cheese and pate, crackers, chocolates, snack, nintendo, beer and lounging. That's my favourite way to celebrate!

I've seen whales a few times, with one of them being a humpback that swam under our (relatively small) boat; they are on another whole level of size. I'd seen belugas and orcas, but that was the biggest creature I have ever (and probably will ever) see). Enjoy your holiday!

If that's the case, then wouldn't the person who thinks that PornHub is "out there" be the sweet summer child that needs to expand their horizons?

Partially the time spent together, but also the thoughtfulness of putting something like that together. My son is 11 and doesn't have a job so he can't just buy any old thing on his own, he has to ask someone to take him somewhere, and put some time and effort and thought into anything he gets for someone, so he thought of the things he knows that I like and put in some work to make it special. He could have just got 5 bottles of hot sauce - that would be a great gift, I love hot sauce - but he added (sorry for being saccharine) a bit of love and thoughtfulness.
I won't post them all, but here's a couple of the questions: "If you weren't doing what you did now for work, what would you want to do and why?" "How did you meet [his godfather], and why did you pick him to be [his godfather]."
