The Christmas season is a time when most families come together to catch up, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Christ. It is a time of year when food and other bounties, such as Absolut and Sour Apple Mix, bring us immense joy, especially around the meddling aunt who will not stop asking about your boyfriend, girlfriend, significant other. It is the season of sweaters, scarves, and leg warmers. My family, much like yours, partakes in the aforementioned holiday festivities... with an added twist. In addition to karaeoke, symbolic of the Filipino-American life, we also play... CRANIUM, a board game involving drawing, fun facts, sculpting, word puzzles, and gestures! Last night, my cousins and I played until 1am. My mom fell asleep on the couch in front of TFC (The Filipino Channel), waiting for us to finish. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I laughed. I love my family so so much!

• Are you sure that's supposed to be the United States and not Florida?
• That girl... the blonde that says "Trim Spahhhhh!"
• You keep skipping letters!

So when's the next game night?
