Bowling For Christmas

I'm not kidding either!  This will mark the seventh year in a row that the Black/Baskwill families partake in a bowling competition on Christmas Day.  This Christmas tradition was started by Barb and allows everyone to relax on the special day without having to clean up the house or cook dinner for multitudes.  We just show up at the bowling alley at the chosen time and have at it.

It turns out there is always a bowling alley open on the day because the bars stay open for the football games.  Each year we have been joined by more and more families.  Everyone in our group brings one present of the same price range and high score gets the choice of the pile.  The kids have their own lanes and their own prize stash, so the competition among the adults gets rather keen.  Every other year an outside ringer shows up to shake up the regulars.  I have yet to take home the grand prize, but I'm usually in the hunt anyway.

Anyone out there have a more peculiar Holiday tradition?  Maybe something involving a moldy fruitcake or something??
