Christmas games for the whole family (kids to grandparents)
Short answer: The best family Christmas games mix ages on the same team, need little more than paper and a pencil, and take 10 minutes or less. Try Christmas trivia with easy and hard questions, picture bingo so little ones can play, charades, and "Who Knows Grandma Best?". Then add up the points and crown a Christmas Champion.
