ANOTHER Super Fun Christmas Game

christmas game 1Every year I have the awesome privilege of speaking for a local church’s Christmas Ornament Exchange.

It is one of my favorite things to do at Christmas.

125 ladies gathered to fellowship, laugh, eat delicious food, and enjoy a time of silliness (that’s my contribution to the evening) and learning (there is always a great teacher who shares an inspiring message).

Last year I posted my amazing Christmas Paper Plate Game that ended up going crazy viral on Pinterest.

This year I had to think of another game that would be just as fun.

christmas game 8

Drum roll please…  Name That Holiday Tune.

This was just too funny.

christmas game 2christmas game 4I would read a ridiculous clue making vague reference to a well-known Christmas carol.

(For example…  The event occurred at one minute after 11:59 pm with visibility unlimited.)

Then, whoever knew which carol I was talking about had to LEAP out of their chair and sing it at the top of their lungs.

(Did you figure out the answer to the trivia?  It Came Upon a Midnight Clear…) 🙂

The first person to do so got a prize.

christmas game 6I gave out really fabulous prizes like fun Santa straws and cute Christmas cupcake liners.

I think the girls had a good time!

I was amazed at how well these women knew their holiday tunes!

Not to mention we discovered some pretty great raw talent.

This is the perfect game to play around the dinner table with your Happy Home this year – or why not even quiz your Happy Hubby while snuggling in bed one night this month? (I did to mine and he LOVED it!  He thought the clues were so funny and clever.) 🙂

You can find a set of FREE Printable clues and cards, as well as much more thorough instructions, over at Celebration Ideas Online.

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that

  • It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago I slept through my alarm, set my veil on fire, had 9 precious flower girls walk down the aisle before me, and we made a covenant before God that we would love and serve each other forever. We don’t do it perfectly, but, by God’s grace, we keep showing up. And he never fails to make me laugh. Happy Anniversary to the best man I know! . Photo Credit >> @heatherholtphoto ✨

  • You know it’s family picture day when I put on lipstick, no one wants to wear the outfits I carefully picked out, and there’s a 100% chance of rain! So thankful for @heatherholtphoto and her expert abilities to capture what feels like a mess and make it into something beautiful. That’s some Gospel inspiration right there. Here’s to a 2020 Christmas card!
