What are your holiday traditions?

I'm not looking forward to holidays for more reasons than one.
But one is that no one really talks. Like it's always about someone, 'did you hear about so and so' or making jokes at others' expense.

I want to change that. One year, my cousins new wife had us play some holiday games. Name a Christmas song with [word] in it...name all Santa raindeers, stuff like that. That was a fun Holiday.

I think I will purchase some board games so that I can get myself and my cousins talking.

All people do is one-word you and stare at their phones the entire time. Quite boring.
