Christmas is upon us, meaning it’s time to gather together with your family and reconnect in the holiday spirit.
That will take about ten minutes. And then you’ll start staring at your phone. Then, a half hour later, once dad has that second glass of wine and starts wandering into politics territory, you’ll start to wonder if maybe there’s a game you can throw on the TV to distract everyone.
