Christmas traditon

My family has lots of different traditions, but my favorite of which changes slightly every few years. Every year, for as long as I can remember, my family, (cousins, aunts, grandparents, etc.) has a Christmas party at either my house, my grandma's house, or sometimes one of my aunts' houses. I used to play with my cousins outside, but now I play card games with the adults, which I enjoy. My uncles used to play around with us a lot, chase us around outside the house and shoot the older cousins with BB guns, but (and don't tell them I said, this or they'll start doing it again) they've gotten kind of boring. Every year after we open our presents we got from our cousins, we draw out names. Each cousin draws another cousin's name, even my 9 month cousin gets a name. The name you draw is the person you, (or rather your parents) buy a gift for, for next year. Usually the kid will pick it out, the parent will buy it, and the kid will wrap it. Every year is slightly different, and as everyone gets older, things just get a little more boring, but I'm not complaining. I love our family Christmas parties, and I think they are the best tradition ever.
