Everyone has their Christmas traditions. Some families go ice skating, or sing Christmas carols, other families watch classic Christmas movies or choose one present to open on Christmas Eve. The Forristall family tradition is slightly different. Kevin and I along with Kevin's sister, Hillary, her husband, John, and Kevin's parents Gary and Diane, all sit down to play....CASHFLOW! This tradition started, well, I don't know when exactly it started, but it is definitely a tradition worth carrying on year to year. Cashflow is a board game that is intended to teach it's players about investing. Each player starts by drawing a profession and then tries to get out of the 'rat race' by drawing opportunities and buying or declining the opportunities. To some it might sound uninspiring, but that is what makes every tradition unique to each family. I love traditions, especially Christmas ones, and, as quirky as it is, I look forward to Cashflow every year!

Not only did we play Cashflow, but we also had the chance to break in Gary and Diane's new house. This was their first Christmas on 350th Street and Diane had the house decorated beautifully for the season. We tried some of Kevin's home brew, ate some of Diane's amazing food (it was especially amazing since it was a change from the frozen dinners we have been microwaving lately!), experimented with my new camera, enjoyed some great wine, and exchanged gifts.
