A Christmas Drinking Game

As everyone prepares to settle down and enjoy family and friends for the Christmas holiday, here's a little something to help lighten to mood - when the family and friends prove too much (from the Daily Meal).
"It doesn't matter what you have in your glass — eggnog, punch, a warm cocktail, Champagne — chances are you're going to be drinking a lot this holiday season. Why not up the ante this Christmas with a fun game that actually turns typical holiday occurrences into an incentive to drink? Just print out the rules below, and let the imbibing begin!"
Take One Drink if:
  • Someone recites the "You'll shoot your eye out" line while you're watching A Christmas Story.
  • Someone asks if you have been naughty or nice this year.
  • A family member asks about your love life. (For singles: If you're in a relationship yet. For couples: When you're getting married).
  • Someone tries to guess what is inside a specific present.
  • A kid complains that a sibling has more presents under the tree than they do.
  • One of the Coca-Cola commercials with the super-cute polar bears plays on TV.
  • Someone recites more than one quote from Elf.
  • Someone gets called Scrooge or a Grinch.
Take Two Drinks if:
  • Someone is wearing a Santa hat or an ugly Christmas sweater (if they're wearing both at the same time, finish the drink).
  • You run out of wrapping paper on Christmas Eve.
  • Someone says, "I think Santa forgot..." on Christmas morning.
  • Your mother-in-law says she would have made something differently finish the drink if she says she would have made it better).
  • Someone comments that It's a Wonderful Life is their favorite Christmas movie. [everybody take two drinks - because it is my favorite Christmas movie]
  • You know most of the lines to Wham's "Last Christmas."
Take Three Drinks if:
  • Someone fakes excitement over a gift.
  • Someone makes an bad or inappropriate mistletoe joke.
  • An ornament breaks (take an extra sip if the cause was a pet's tail).
  • If some item of the Christmas meal gets burnt.
  • A family member starts to sing after one too many glasses of eggnog (or other Christmas cocktail).
Finish Your Drink if:
  • A visiting family member tells you you've lost weight (and you know you haven't).
  • It actually snows on Christmas morning.
  • You receive something you know has been re-gifted.
  • Someone accidentally reveals to a young child that Santa doesn't really exist. Oops.
