It’s that time of the year. Amidst the stress of gift shopping, holiday dinners at the in-laws’ house, housecleaning, meal preparation and quality time with relatives you can’t stand, you and your family deserve time for real festive fun this holiday season.
Holiday fun starts at home. You’ve got a stacked bar, a full pantry and fridge (and possibly a dessert table). Building your game room with exciting new options keeps the good times rolling and allows you to make special memories with your children and other loved ones.
The Children’s Health Fund offers 10 tips for helping kids have holiday fun. Legacy Billiards can help with 3 of these tips that can also benefit parents, friends and other families you may happen to entertain this holiday season.
- Make time for physical activity every day. For most of us, It’s cold outside and it gets dark earlier. But your party room could be stacked with great opportunities for indoor active play. Games like darts, foosball, shuffleboard and bumper pool produce enough physical activity to decrease crankiness, boredom and bad behavior throughout the day. And these are games that the whole family can play every day.
- Create and honor your own family traditions. Nothing makes special memories during the holidays like starting new rituals that can include the whole family, as well as friends and relatives. Even those you can barely tolerate are more fun to be around when there’s a game to play. You can create a tournament with any of the recommended party room games, and if you have younger children, bumper pool is an ideal game that the whole family can enjoy together. Additionally, if your children are older or more mature, a pool table may very well be the ultimate holiday tournament experience – for your family AND other families joining in on the fun.
- Have fun! Enjoy yourself! Enjoy your kids. “This year will never come again!” If you don’t have the recommended games for active indoor play, any one of these choices makes a wonderful holiday gift for the whole family that your loved ones will remember for years to come. And what better way to start a new family tradition than putting a bow on one of these games and then declaring “let the games begin!” If you live in a warmer climate, Legacy Billiards has excellent outdoor game options, like outdoor pool tables, shuffleboards and table tennis / ping pong (which you can also play inside).
The best moments of the holidays are the ones that allow you to share the glad tidings of the season with the people you love most. Fun, high-quality games made with the finest materials and craftsmanship can make this happen.
