9 thoughts on “A Fun Game Sure To Become A Family Favorite”
[…] I once again hosted a Christmas party this year, except this time I did 3 days in a row of Christmas parties! We took this idea from a friend, and the thought was to try to incorporate as many people as possible, while also making an effort to focus on different aspects of the Christmas season. So the first night was “celebrating friends,” which was basically my normal Christmas party. I made dinner, we played games, decorated gingerbread cookies, etc. One of the games was a new one – I wrapped little treats in saran wrap and made people unwrap the ball with oven mitts on. It was actually a lot more fun than I expected! You can read more about that here. […]
This really was a surprisingly fun game. It seemed like some people were better than others, but I think everyone pretty much evenly stunk. It was a riot. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it, Michael!
What does the final product look like? In my head, I see a rubberband ball made of saran wrap. It might be cool to put small bottles of liquor in it for a bachelor party.
That’s a great description, Jon! A giant saran wrap rubber-band-esque ball :). And I love your idea of using liquor bottles! I imagine the game might get much more amusing, depending on how much the guys have already had… 😉
With my crew, there’s never enough libations! 🙂
I may try this for NYE. Thanks for the fun tip!
I hope you enjoy it! I would love to hear how it goes! 🙂
