25 - Spelletjes


Y... Yahtzee

Christmas in the Netherlands:
- Having a nice (late) breakfast together with kerststol (a bread-like fruitcake), fresh orange juice and a boiled egg.
- Going to church together or watching the pope on TV saying his Urbi et Orbi.
- Making a long walk together, preferably in the snow, but in the Netherlands snow is a rarety.
- Having dinner together.
- Having a fun evening together playing games like Trivial Pursuit, "Ganzenborden" and Yahtzee.
The keyword of course is "together".
Probably not that much different from the way Christmas is celebrated in other parts of the world.

Fill in "Up words for Yahtzee, and it is the same here (except for the church). We go on Christmas Eve at midnight. Merry Christmas!

A fun way to spend the day. Enjoy your family and play a number of games.

We usually play Yahtzee over the holidays as well. It does bring the family together for lots of laughs.
