'Twas the late morning of Christmas and all through our house, Not a kiddie was stirring, they sat like a louse, For they were uncreative and lazy - they lacked pep and verve, They declared that they were bored!, oh how they had nerve, So I grabbed each one by the tip of their ear, And forced them to the table to sit and to hear, Of my youth in the 80's and how we played games, The kind with flat boards and straight-forward names, Like Clue and Monopoly, Battleship too, We played as a family and everyone knew, That this was called "quality time", when young and old mix, And rolling a die can give you hours of kicks. So this dreary season when cabin fever strikes, Gather 'round a board game that everyone likes!! That's my holiday poem for you and yours, Below are some games that sure beat doin' chores... I can't stop rhyming, no matter how I try, I had better stop typing, so long and goodbye... Seriously,...
Well...I try- try to get everything just perfectly so. From family to home, garden, cooking and beyond. Only problem is, well...nothing ever quite turns out the way I had hoped. I live by "almost": It almost fits, is almost edible, almost painted properly, almost deloused, almost safe... Will I ever get it right? Who knows. But along the way, it'll be anything but boring!
