Hanberg Family Football Game - Erik Hanberg

Hanberg Family Football Game

We rekindled an old tradition that died out 10 or 12 years ago. Our early Christmas celebration with the Hanberg side of the family used to include a 3-on-3 or 4-on-4 touch football game. I use "football" loosely, here. Plays include hidden ball tricks, singing Jingle Bells to distract the opposition, and hiking the ball when the QB says blueberries.

Since we've been celebrating this Christmas in Eastern Washington for the last few years, we've generally had too much snow to manage the game. But there's just a light dusting here, so we took advantage and re-started it. If we have two feet of snow next year it may not happen, but we'll probably keep it going when we can.

Next up, dinner and our gift trade with Po-Ke-No (like bingo but with a deck of cards) that includes white elephant gifts.
