The Ultimate Christmas Eve/Day Drinking Game

TV3

It's the most wonderful time of the year! As if we didn't need another excuse to drink, we have the holidays. Though they're different for everybody, there are some things we can all count on, and what better way to come together during this truly magical time of year than to drink about it? So, whether you're dreading every family interaction, or you're loving every minute of your newfound freedom, I present to you: The Ultimate Christmas Eve (or Day-- it's multi-functional) Drinking Game!

Take a shot/sip/drink/chug like there's no tomorrow every time you:

-Hear a racist/sexist/ignorant comment from a family member

-Are asked about your love life (or lack thereof) by a family member

-Are asked about school by a family member

-Are asked about your plans after college by a family member

-Are asked about graduation by a family member

-Turn the tables and ask your relatives awkward, unanswerable questions about their lives

-Experience some kind of family drama

-Are depressed that you no longer believe in Santa

-Reminisce about old Christmases

-Pretend to like a gift you actually hate

-Pretend to like food you actually hate

-Have to awkwardly greet relatives you only see once a year

-Awkwardly interact with any member of your family

-Hate yourself for over-eating

-Hate yourself for over-drinking

-Interact with an inappropriately drunk relative

-Realize how truly crazy your entire family is

-Realize how not little your little cousins are

-Realize how you used to be the little cousin and are now an adult (When did that happen?!)

-Unexpectedly bond with a relative

-Hear a Christmas song

-Hear that same Christmas song on repeat 40 times

-Sing a Christmas song

-Unwrap a gift

-Give someone a gift

-Unexpectedly get a gift you love

-See someone fall asleep at the table

-Can't hear yourself think over how loud it is

-Hear a story about a time before you were born

- Smile and nod through a particularly terrible conversation

-Hear someone mention snow, the cold, the weather

-Hear someone talk about politics

-Remember you could still be sitting in the library studying for finals

-Realize how truly grateful you are for the giant web of crazy that is your family during the holidays

Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
