If your family is anything like ours, we love to play different games around the holidays. We host Christmas Eve at our house and every year, I like to come up with different games for the family to compete and play in.
When the kids were smaller, I would come up with games for the kids and then games for the adults. Now that all of our kids are teenagers, I don’t have to come up with separate games.
They can try and beat the parents and grandparents now. I have posted about some of the games we have done in the past but this time around, I am sharing some Christmas Trivia Games we have put together.

These DIY Jadeite Christmas Ornaments are so easy to make. They give the look of vintage jadeite glassware without the cost or the delicacy of real glass ornaments.
Are you a fan of jadeite?
It is so pretty and many people collect the dishes and other jadeite items. I have yet to find a real jadeite piece in a thrift store or yard sale but I know I can find them a lot easier in antique stores and more specific flea markets that have sellers who specialize in it.

Neutral paint colors are always a good choice because they go with any style and they do sell fast. I also know that neutral can describe any color.
You can have a neutral green and a neutral blue.
You don’t have to paint everything white to get a “neutral” look.
Today, I am going to share some of my favorite blue furniture makeovers that I have done over the years.
I think most of these makeovers are a more neutral blue tone. They aren’t super loud or overpowering.
