2. Lips – Once everybody is warmed up (and had a glass or two of wine), break out the karaoke. There aren’t many songs included in the game, but it will play your MP3s too. Load up the holiday carols and start a sing-a-long… or, you know… don’t. Whatever. Bonus points if you get through the carols without singing “Jingle Bells, Batman Smells”. Seriously. I hate that frakking song.

1. Rock Band 2 – Time to make the room jump! Okay, so it’s not the newest game. Still, when it comes to group gaming with the family, how can one go wrong with Rock Band? I know it’s not classic rock, but I will be downloading No Doubt’s “The Singles” song pack. For 1600 MS Points, you get 13 of No Doubt’s hits. This one is fun for the whole family, especially after some eggnog. Bonus points if you get Grandpa to sing “One Way or Another” or “You Oughta Know”.
