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!

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

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