The Great New Year's Eve Letter Game
Sure, I shout the loudest that I don't like New Year's Eve, but it's actually a bit more complicated than that. What I find stupid about it is the social pressure that always comes into play. What I like about it is reflecting on the past year, remembering, making new plans for the coming year, all that sentimental stuff. Once I played the note game with friends and that was immediately the first and only fun New Year's Eve I had in the Netherlands, so I'm happy to share this secret with you. Here it comes.
To prepare, take a large bowl, a few sheets of paper, and a pen. Invite your friends over for a grand dinner on the 31st, and then play this game. From those sheets of paper, cut out small notes and write a question on each note. During the game, everyone takes turns picking a note, reading the question aloud, and then has to answer it, after which you put it back in the bowl. To make it even easier for you, I've written down a whole bunch of questions below that you can just pop into the bowl. Happy new year!
