so my family is really divided. like no one knows anything about each other, its really sad. so this year- i plan on doing shit differently (as i say every year). lol but this time i actually have a plan. like...

1) in order to open the presents, first, we have to play a board game. this year it will be spongebob's life game since my son, 4, knows how to play and we already have it (i got 2 games as a present for the FAMILY)

lol thats all of the plan that i have. but i want to have like a questionaire for everyone- simple things like your name, age, year.. and then semi-harder ones, like best friend? current interest in life- like hobbies and stuff... and then what they learned/gained from 2009, and what they expect to gain/learn (or want to learn) from 2010. and a few more questions. and then afterwards, i plan on putting them all in seperate envelopes and putting them up for either next year (for us to read privately) or to just keep doing it and in a few years time, hand them back out, unopened.

anyways-- so i'm having a really hard time coming up with questions to ask. i want at least 10-20 of them. something that'll be enlightening, as well as something fast cuz my 12 year old brother hates reading and writing.

any ideas/advice?

Good Idea aslong as their all willing to participate, If i said something like that to my family, they would probalby be like WHAT? HUH? WHY do we gotta do this? IM NOT DOING THAT!

There not very fun when it comes to stuff like that and yeah they are all distant and no-one knows anything about each other.


A question could be...

What is your favorite childhood memory?

If you won a million dollars and had to choose a charity to give half of it to, what one would you choose?

yep. my family will be the same way- mainly my 12 year old brother (my mom wont be here, but she'll be the same way).. and with my brother, everyone bows down to him so they are gonna try to make me not make him do it. i am doing the game first- and then the yearly question sheet after the game. if they dont participate in the yearly questions, then they dont get my gifts.. which for my brother, i got like 3 of his FAVORITE crap (video game, another bbgun, and 4 passes to a skate place that also has lazer tag and wall climbing).
