Here's a Christmas game I think we can all get on board with.

Snap Dragon is an English game played at Christmas since at least the 17th century. That's a really long time and I've only heard of this now!?
The game begins by soaking a bowl of raisins with brandy and setting them alight. Participants then reach for the fruit with their bare fingers while onlookers chant...
Here he comes with flaming bowl, Don't he mean to take his toll, Snip! Snap! Dragon!
Take car you don't take too much, Be not greedy in your clutch,
Snip! Snap! Dragon!
With his blue and lapping tongue, Many of you will be stung, Snip! Snap! Dragon!
For he snaps at all that comes, Snatching at his feast of plums, Snip! Snap! Dragon!
A different variation of this game is for people who are looking for a new drinking game. Flap Dragon begins with placing a lit candle in the center of a mug of ale or cider. The challenger lay in getting a drink without extinguishing the candle. Maybe a bit dangerous, too...
