Polar Express is the movie!

Hansel and Gretel inspired the gingerbread houses!

We always play cards at every single family gathering, its the best!

My families game of choice is monopoly, and you know it gets very intense during our holiday parties. As I am sure most families get the same way about their own traditions, I love the family bonding time and it is a great way to end the year and begin the new one! Thanks for getting the holiday spirit going on here!

Yes my family plays games during the Holidays. We play 6 handed Uker. It gets very competitive and some of our more sensitive family members have been known to cry after the game.

Egg nog is the Christmas beverage, also known as "milk punch"! Thanks for spreading the christmas spirit! :)

What you are told about steem coin...?there are have any future..? @khaleelkazi

Steem as a cryptocurrency definitely has a good future ahead of it! Steemit is just 1 platform that can be built on top of the Steem blockchain, think of Steemit as an app on the device of Steemit. The possibilities are endless going forward and Steemit is already such a great platform, I expect the coin to continue to rise significantly over time!

My Family plays our own home made game/contest. Which is, who can go through the entire day without arguing or fighting. This has become a very serious challenge to many members. Truth is every year there are No Winners. Sad but True. Shameful as well. One American's Christmas. This takes on every Holiday. I am used to it. I do really love Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy New Year 2018. May all your dreams come true.

We are not playing games because my father is against it. My dad is very oppressive.

@khaleelkazi I see that you mention the use of an RNG, I don't know how much effort is needed? I recently discovered a great resource for the task.

Have you heard of or used Steemwinner service?
https://steemwinner.surge.sh/

The service makes contest winner selection really easy and straight forward. But you probably already knew this.

Sorry, I got of track. I was originally following up on the results of this days lucky winners?
