Happy New Year’s Eve! I’m back on the Eastern Shore, where a group of us is gathering to celebrate. I’m working on putting together some games for us to play, including a Jeopardy with custom categories and questions and a dice game where everyone gets two wrapped presents, and based on what they roll, they either share one present to the left or right, steal a present or unwrap one. You keep going until all the presents are unwrapped. One of them will be a Smirnoff Ice that the person stuck with it at the end will have to drink.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe night!
