National Play Monopoly Day 2025
A damp, chilly Hump π« Day before the holiday season kicks off happens to be National Play Monopoly Day. Pick your piece, choose properties wisely and may the π² dice π² smile upon you. Let’s GOΓ‘
π There Can Be Only One π₯Ύ
I think itβs wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly. ~Steven Wright
This has been a family favorite as far back as I can remember.
At home over the kitchen table or on a picnic table under the canopy of the family camper, Monopoly was a top pick.
The same is true of my wife and kids.
Monopoly is a top pick, particularly if you’re looking forward to yet another win by Connor.
It’s a great way to spend an afternoon or evening together.

HOW TO WIN MONOPOLY EVERY TIME
Here’s a strategy to try, and you can let me know if it works for you.
It almost certainly doesn’t work against Connor.

βI grew up with my mom playing Monopoly as a kid, so itβs cool that I can now be [abroad] and my mom and I can be playing togetherβ¦ and then we can get the family together from all over the world and charge my mom rent. ~Jason Momoa
Speaking of Connor, another thing he likes about Monopoly is being able to yell, “Rent!”

On other fictional news, I’m past the 50% mark on this year’s Holiday Season Serial Romance.
π‘ππ Goodness & Lights πππ‘ is coming along quite nicely, and I hope you’ll really enjoy this year’s story.
Surprisingly, the π₯π£π₯ is not nearly as disastrous as some of the emotional landmines I’ve planted.
Won’t be much longer before this year’s episodes start dripping, so stay tuned.
That’s all for today. See you back on Saturday for cranberry π΄π₯« relish…
