I don’t know what it is but I’m rather excited for the holiday. Maybe it’s the fact that my wife and I are likely go cut down our own Christmas tree this year or the newest episode of Glee. Either way I’m ready for all the holiday festivities, but as I’ve gotten older and more years pass I see less and less people celebrating the holidays in big ways. Gone are the days of entire blocks hanging up lights, people singing carols and general good cheer. I’ll be honest, I can’t even remember the last time I enjoyed a Christmas carol, last year’s Christmas post an exception. So how do I infect my holiday cheer on my players, and keep this good mood up?

Every couple of years I get a hankering, an itch in the base of my brain to replay old games. I just wish you could package up the feelings and love for a game into a tabletop RPG session.

The holiday season is always a frantic time of year. The tone and feel of it is almost palpable in the air. The lights, the music, the general festivities all add to the holiday magic. This magic should be reflected in our games, allowing our table personas to partake in the holiday cheer.
