Chrismas Eve Inspiration

I just had an idea for Christmas Eve. It’s early, yes, but tell me what you think of the idea.

I’m thinking that we randomly draw names, and then randomly match them to other holidays. (I have this system in mind for how to involve all three households in the random selection of all this). I have six of the other big holidays in mind – and for Christmas Eve, we have to give the person something for that other holiday.

What do you think? I think it would be challenging; you’d almost have to make something for some of them.

The six holidays I came up with (major holidays) are Valentines, Easter, St Patricks, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving.

I was also thinking that instead (or in addition, hehe) we could do more obscure holidays that don’t have traditional gifts associated with them – Presidents day, Election Day, Columbus Day, or we could even do the really obscure ones (plenty of those).

Any opinions?

  1. Here’s a question if not an opinion.

    What are your Christmas plans? Coming down to visit, staying up there? Going to Russia for something different?

    Inquiring minds want to know

  2. It looks like I’ll either be in Ohio or staying here. I was supposed to be in Ohio this weekend but had to bail the day before the departure, so I feel obligated to give them a holiday. But it hasn’t really been discussed, so I can’t be fully certain.
