Tacky Sweaters and Trivia





Last Friday, Adam and I hosted our first Christmas party.

It was festive and fun.

The sweaters were tacky.

The leftover food was in abundance.

And the company...was simply the best.

We decided that for our first Christmas party we wanted to come up with an original Nelson Christmas game.

The result: The Nelson's Trivial Christmas Trivia.

Everyone split into two teams and we let the questions work their magic. Some were, well, entirely arbitrary. But most, were actually factual. I thought I would share some of them to see how well you do playing our rip-roaring game. Don't Google the answers...Not calling you cheaters, I'm just saying.
