Christmas Bingo is one of our favorite family traditions. We start out with the kids bingo which they think is pretty great. (The markers for the cards were m&ms and I think a lot of those got eaten during the game.) The kids had fun trying to get bingo and Grammie had a present for each of them when they did win. (Don't tell them, but we rigged it so that there was only one winning card in the group. We rotated that card every game so that each kid ended up winning once. Shh...they'll never know!)
After the kids went to bed, it was adult bingo time. This is the loot that we were after. There were over 60 gift bags and probably about 20 giftcards and money boxes hanging on the money tree too. It is intense! Bingos come quickly and then you have to spin the wheel to see what you do with the gift you choose. Options are: gift up for grabs, keep gift, spin again and no gift. Those no gift rolls are the worst! I got 2 no gifts right in a row and it was painful! But in the end, it's all fun and games and we had a great time! Lots of laughs and a few little heated moments of stress, but everyone ended up with great gifts.
Thanks to mom and dad for making this such a fun tradition!
