Noggin'

(Now, if you're lactose-intolerant, this may not be the game for you...)

Grab some eggnog (with a little extra "kick", if that's your pleasure) and take a swig for each time you've done the following this holiday season:

• made direct eye-contact/shared a smile with a Santa (this includes the mall variety as well as bearded guys on the street wearing Santa hats)
• got a little excited when you saw the blue flannel-sleeved arm of the guy who turns the logs on the "Holiday Fireplace" channel on TV
• performed a random act of kindness and didn't tell anyone about it
• were lucky enough to be in the presence of a child who still believes in Santa Claus
• have a friend or relative named Noel/Noelle
• caught snowflakes with your tongue
• made a snow angel
• are wearing Christmas socks right now
• have reached a point in your life where giving gifts is just as good, if not better than, receiving them
• have worn/are wearing one (or all) of the following: fake reindeer antlers, a Santa hat, bells
• secretly shook one of your Christmas presents like an 8 year old
• have put any of the following on a household pet and taken a picture of it: fake reindeer antlers, Santa hat, harness-with-bells, tinsel
• have sincerely apologized to said pet for the aforementioned photo shoot
• secretly think the people in the really nice neighbourhoods who didn't put lights up, suck..(just a little)
• wish that "peace on earth" included no mention of: Tiger Woods, the Gosselins, or Brangelina again, until, like, March
• are secretly jealous of your Jewish friends, because they get gifts, like, every freakin' day during Hanukkah
• have gone/are going to see a movie on Christmas Day (Sherlock Holmes - woot, woot!)
• feel just a little more Christmas-y (..and/or drunk) after reading this

Happy Holidays, Loved Ones.
