Merry Merry Merry Cards!

Merry Merry Merry Christmas Everyone!!

It's that day and you're with all your family and thank goodness Santa has already come to visit you.. what next? Driving to see more family? More conversations with crazy family members? Well, I know the routine just as well as the next person. So what is my trick for making Christmas Day that much better?

Cards (and cocktails of course)


It's classic, and it helps pass the time better than anything i've encountered. In fact, we play cards all the time. If you have to trek over to your great Aunt's house.. pack some cards so you can play gin or spades.. and if you are lucky enough to be fam jamming at home, put on your PJ's, grab your siblings and get the competitive juices flowing. Also, it's easy enough to play while you are drinking your bloody mary and watching the football games. It's really the game that keep on giving for all occasions.

I hope you all grow to love cards as much as we do.. and that you'll play them for many years to come. We play Gin Rummy (best with 3 people) and Spades (best with 4 people) mostly, but one of my Christmas Day presents is a Bridge lesson from the parents, so watch out ladies, we're bringing Bridge back.

Again, Merry Merry Merry to all of yours and I know that you'll all have a fabulous day!
