One of our New Year's Eve traditions is to play, the New Year's Eve Game! It is very fun, and made up by me, Julie.
You pick a category, answer the question, get points. This year we had 10 categories and around 145 questions. After the questions, we add up the points, then with those points we auction off the prizes. Very rousing and fun.
A new category this year was First Lines of Books.
I thought I would share this category with you all. If you know any of the answers, give the answers in the comment section. I will print the answers in a few days.
HAVE FUN!!
