<\/a><\/p>\nHoliday Trivia<\/h2>\n
We played the Holiday Trivia game at a \u201cHoliday and Seasons\u201d couples wedding shower . Each guest was assigned a holiday or a season and they brought a gift that kept with that holiday theme. <\/p>\n
Some examples of gifts are:<\/p>\n Winter- crockpot and soup bowl We also played a variation of the \u201cNewlywed\/Oldywed game which included lots of holiday questions such as:<\/p>\n What\u2019s your favorite holiday?<\/p>\n Does your spouse wear green on St Patrick’s Day?<\/p>\n What is your spouse\u2019s favorite Thanksgiving food?<\/p>\n Does your spouse prefer a real or artificial Christmas tree?<\/p>\n But you don\u2019t have to have wedding on your calendar to celebrate the holidays and seasons- try a holiday and seasons<\/a> theme for your family reunion. It\u2019s especially appropriate if you have a family member such as a serviceman or missionary that has been away from the family for awhile.
