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.

"Does your family play any games during the holiday season? Which ones?"
We are multicultural. Our Korean family plays a game in New Year called "yutnori". You can throw sticks and go around a game board bringing all your pieces around the board. The first team to bring in all the pieces wins.

Around Lunar New Year I will write a post about it^^
Our Italian American family plays "mafia" as a card game. Fun

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.

@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?
