Growing up in a family of 4 boys, it was very competitive in all aspects, study, career, sport, dating, gaming, music, and getting up to naughtiness without getting caught :joy:🤣

And one of our regular Christmas /New Year things was playing board games with the family...

Now with Mum, Dad and two oldest brothers having departed long ago, playing board games with the family is one the things I severely miss, that chance to catch up, and generally appreciate the family or to swap recipes, tricks or names of music tracks as well as catching up on family topics...

Christmas and New Year always leave me feeling reminiscent...

Does anyone else feel like this too?
Or is it just moi? :joy:

I reminisce for a little bit. Remembering some of the favorite traditions.

Good memories.

Definitely Jaan, be it the Christmas holidays or any holidays, i start them with the memories I had with my cousins 🥰

We used to be together in our grandpa's house during holidays when our parents leave for work.. so we used to play all types of games like snake n ladder, carrom board, hide n seek, last letter word game n the most favourite Dumb Charades game which we enjoy alot ☺

I taught those games to my kids too n they play for sometime only n put the rest of the playtime only on the games in mobile :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

those childhood days of mine with my cousins were the best ❤

Thankyou for bringing this topic, it gave me a glimpse of happiness :blush:

Awwwwwe Hiya Aatheera,

Yeah gosh Carrom, now there's a word you don't hear often, even the elders/parents would play that, after the kids have gone to sleep, while drinking or smoking a hookah (hubbly bubbly) and if you were lucky to be awake, you would hear stories about our uncles, aunties and parents...

In my father's case, worked his entire life from the age of 12, at age 15 he ran away from home and goat herding / farming to Africa, where he must have made a great impression on my mother's father, so much so that he (mother's father) let them marry, then he saved his family (wife and 3 kids) from that fruitcake dictator idi amin, when he went skitzo in the membrane. And finally we ended up here in UK as unwantef immigrants and racism :rolling_eyes:...

I won't be able to his shoes for sure, but I try to be a good role model for my kids too as my father and mother were good role models to us :pray:...

Happy New Year to you and yours too :confetti_ball::tada::beers::wine_glass::pray:

I remember learning the card game Hearts and I was starting to get good. I liked that game.
