C.S. Lewis and Dr Freud are interrupting their intense intellectual debate for a bit of festive cheers. They are having a wee drink and exchanging gifts (clever books presumably). Well cheers Clive (Jack), cheers Sigmund 🍸

My siblings and I have a very morbid sense of humor- we will joke about dark things all the time, but it makes for fun conversations and laughing fits.
This happened last year, and it still makes me laugh.
So, we were discussing new Christmas traditions we wanted to start (we have a few, like eating pizza for Christmas Eve dinner) and like normal, our conversation quickly went dark, and we thought of one that we would never do, but it made us laugh, Christmas Knife Fight- nothing fatal, first one to cry gets stabbed twice, and last one standing gets to open the first present. We quickly turned into silent seals, laughing so hard we couldn't breathe.
So fast forward a few weeks, we attended a holiday cookie exchange party for one of my mom's good friends, who was unable to host it at her house this year as she invited so many people, so we had it at her church instead. We were introverted, hiding at a back table with our mom, not really interacting with others other than mom's friend, whom we like as well.
We start playing some games, and one of them was Scattegories, we played a few rounds and finally the last round was announced, Christmas traditions that start with the letter 'K'.
Can you guess who immediately started busting up laughing, loudly, in a church, surrounded by lots of cute little old church ladies?
Mom pretended she didn't know us as we were dying and mom's friend was confused why we were laughing, as we couldn't say anything!! We did not put that down as an answer, and we left soon after that.
We told mom why we were laughing so hard, and she tried so hard not to laugh too but we got her!
It's one of our fondest Christmas memories and we still joke about having the knife fights to prepare for Christmas.
