I must be getting old. I went through the entire holiday season without playing Christmas Keys one time.
If you aren't familiar with the game, here is how it is played. First, go to the busiest Christmas shopping area near you and find the absolute worst parking place in the lot. Park there and go in and either purchase something or at least get a bag so it looks like you've done your shopping. Then you head to the front of the store and obviously pull your keys out so that every one of those "I gotta get a good parking space because walking an extra twenty feet will kill me" people see your bag and the car keys in your hand. Then walk to a great parking spot, pause, and
then walk between the cars to the next aisle over. See how many people you can light up as they follow you around hoping for the great parking spot. Variations on the game include seeing if you can hook someone into following you all the way to your car. Bonus points if you dump your bag in the car and head back to the store. More bonus points if you don't get run over on the way back to the store.
I don't know if I didn't play because I've become really good at avoiding crowds of people or if my sense of self preservation is finally starting to kick in.
