How to Have a Very Brady Christmas

Christmas is a time for fun and celebration. Around the world families gather for food and fun for the Christmas holiday. Regardless of the size of your immediate family, you can have a Christmas that rivals the festivities in the fictional Brady household. Organizing a Brady style Christmas just takes a little planning and a cooperative family.

Instructions

1. Get a phone with free long distance. Calling all of your family members should be free and fun.

2. Call your parents, siblings and other family members. Use the phone, even if you all live in the same town. The Brady family all lived in different towns and states.

3. Gather your parents together. If they are no longer married ask them to pretend. After all, that is what Mike and Carol would have done.

4. Arrange the Christmas gathering in the house you grew up in. If your parents no longer live there, make a deal with the owners to borrow their home for the holidays.

5. Hug your family and enjoy your version of a very Brady Christmas.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to include your family's old housekeeper in the festivities.

• Make sure your mom meddles in everyone's lives.

• Do not let your dad have a near death experience like Mike Brady. After all, this is not television.
