Let's share the games we always play during the Christmas holidays! What games do you enjoy during this special time of year?

For me, I have a yearly ritual of an old favorite, Super Mario Bros. 3, a game introduced to me in my early childhood by my grandparents during the Christmas holidays (I believe I was around 8 years old at the time). Ever since that time, I bring out the old NES from my closet and hook it up with the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartridge and play through all the worlds until its completion (without warps). It's an easy game, yeah, but there are so many fond memories that I've had with that special classic and I'll be doing it for years to come. It's tradition, too!

So, how about you guys?
My Ritual.

Sat under my neighbour tree at midnight, lights 10 fat candles, wear my beer soaked t-shirt, pour some sugar on the dirt,
watch ants having an orgy. ate baby ants.

I'm sorry, did you forget about World 8? It's the only thing that's stopped me from beating the whole thing...

It’s usually around this time I install Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines and spend a few indecisive hours restarting because I'm unsure what Clan to play as, finally settling on the one I completed the game with the 12 times before.
Snowy winter nights provide the perfect atmosphere for playing Max Payne, although we haven't had snow this year. However, having completed it a dozen times, I doubt I'll play it again.
Make resolution to buy less and play more, and maybe complete more titles.

Sit back and realize how I failed miserably the same resolution made earlier that year.

Rinse, repeat.
Stare at my computer, baffled that my massive backlog has somehow gotten bigger over the year. Resolve to do something about it, start looking through my games for a starting point. Brain overloads with indecision, decide to watch Netflix instead. Maybe next year...

This time of year? I pretty much stop gaming altogether. I probably won't get going again until mid January

Which one is that?

I don't have any Christmas gaming rituals, but I suddenly feel the urge to re-install Tomb Raider 2 because it reminds me of better times and better Christmases. (Spell check considers "Christmases" a word, I'm strangely amazed.)

Tremere. I can literally glance at someone and make them explode. These gorgeous eyes are deadly weapons.

I just made a bunch of random noises directed at my screen because I just re-installed TR3 and think I need to stop installing games based on forum posts and whims when drunk.
... but that does sound like fun. Not as fun as Malkavian, I do enjoy arguments with stop signs, but. Dammit.
Binge Warcraft: Orcs and Humans before midnight. Though I can't find my damned CD this year. =/
Every year in my home town we have our annual Leisure Suit Larry Festival.

Tremere characters can also become an apprentice and live at Hogwart- I mean the Tremere Chantry. Shame Malkavian characters don't get to claim that sweet mansion for themselves.
