what do YOU do for Christmas break?

so what does YOUR family do for Christmas break?
US....
we are big fans of game playing!
as in board games, card games, anything "game-y" (except for game-y meat)
it is some serious stuff, and for SOME OF US (namely me)
...we never like to loose!
so my SIL regifted me this great word game this year.
it is called "QUIDDLER".
i am a huge HUGE fan of word games, or ANY game that in fact
requires actual thinking as part of the challenge.
Josh and I have been DOMINATING at this game so far.
it is a game of skill and thought that requires
one to spell/make words with the cards drawn in ones hand.
each round you get progressively MORE cards to make into words
and you win by laying all YOUR cards (all of them) first!
fun stuff....

a few other enjoyable activities have involved some good old fashioned sledding,
snow fort building, shovelling (LOTS of that)playing with friends,
grabbing a movie and snacking.
kyle and i were just saying to each other how ODD it is at the holidays how
people snack and never seem to sit down for a real meal.
there is always tomorrow, right?
so anyway, if you're bored, QUIDDLER can still be found online at AMAZON,
i even saw that Target carried it as well.
a word to the wise: find some intelligent people to play it with! :O)

Thanks for the review...I am so glad you guys are having fun with it. i love the holiday break for that weird family time that seems to never happen when school is going, no worries about late nights, homework, work work, just playing!
