Great Christmas idea from my wife to make the holiday more fun.

We go to our son's house on Christmas eve and open presents with our granddaughters. After opening presents, and eating dinner we get the bingo game out. My wife throughout the year buys cheap, but useful presents. Stuff like laundry detergent, dish soap, candy, etc etc. She then wraps these gifts, but hides money with the gift. The granddaughters have a blast playing bingo.
