we can’t claim that our game closet has always been organized either. In fact, we didn’t start out with a board game closet even on the list. Our current board game closet was actually built to be a storage closet. And we planned for a cabinet in the family room where we’d place our games so we could easily pull them out to play.

What defines a board game or card game?
In our view, the whole definition of a board game or card game revolves around it being something physical that you can touch, feel, and move around. Playing board games is all about the social interaction of sitting around, face-to-face and moving stuff around on the table or from hand to hand.
Our family had a great time playing lots of new board games and card games in 2011!
We also had a great time playing games that we’ve had for years.
In fact, it’s very relaxing to play a board game that we’re familiar with rather than always learning rules to new games
Our family was on TV yesterday!
A local TV station did a story on Building Family Traditions and they featured our family in the segment. It was a great experience and we loved having the chance to talk about the importance of family time.

With so many great new family board games coming out every year, it’s hard not to put a few of them on our Christmas wishlist.
The games we found this year under the Christmas tree this year were fantastic.
Take a look at what they were.
We’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
We hope that over the next few days you’ll enjoy time with your family and appreciate the associations you have. We know at times it’s easy to take our relationships for granted. But it’s times like this that prompt us to reflect on our blessings.

We love Christmas and the feelings of kindness that come with it. It’s a time when we seem to think more of others.
We think about giving gifts to family members and friends. We think about what we can do for our neighbors. We may participate in secretly giving 12 Days of Christmas gifts to others. We think of those less fortunate and contribute to charitable organizations. And when we do, we feel more joy.

We just found out about a cool local Board Games 4 Charity Drive.
EverythingBoardGames.comWe know there are a lot of charities to support this time of year and sometimes it’s tough to determine where to direct your efforts. But since we know you’re interested in board games (otherwise you wouldn’t have hit our site), we thought you might be interested in this as well.
