We’re sticking with the holiday theme tonight with a question about holiday game nights with family. We share tips for gaming with family, and share some of the games we play with our own families this time of year.

We review The Kringle Caper and wrap up with more thoughts on Ghost in the Machine, Bah Humbug and the 12 Days of Christmas, and more.
