Christmas MASH Ideas
A Christmas MASH board is a good fit for family game night in December, when everyone's already thinking in sleigh bells and gingerbread. It also gives you a built-in excuse to be a little sentimental — go ahead and put a real wish on the board next to the silly ones.
The categories translate almost too easily: your car becomes a sleigh, your job becomes something out of the North Pole, and your income might just be whatever's under the tree.
Pick one option from each list below for Spouse, Car, Job, Kids, and Income — or use them as a jumping-off point and write your own. The Where You'll Live category stays fixed to Mansion, Apartment, Shack, and House no matter what theme you play, so it isn't included here. Once your board is filled in, head back to the game to run the magic number and see what survives.
