In honor of International Answer the Phone like Buddy the Elf day—an event that has been floating around the Facebook news feed for quite a few days now (save the date for December 18)—this week’s holiday drinking game is for Elf--if you're up to the challenge, that is.  As promised, new rules, for a new holiday flick drinking game, every week for the entirety of December, and some of you may be still recovering from Home Alone.  In some bizarre twist of fate, as I began to compile this week’s rules, Elf just happened to be on T.V. So, this is an authentic live blog. 

Drink Everytime:

•  
• Buddy references the “Christmas Spirit”
• Buddy puts maple syrup on his food
• Buddy says “cotton-headed ninny muggins”
• Buddy sings (“Because we all know “the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!”)
• Mr. Narwhal pops up
• The “Naughty/Nice List” is mentioned
• Buddy screams/howls
• Santa is mentioned
• Buddy gets hit by a car
• Buddy eats something disgusting (Subjective to individual)
• Buddy says something is “beautiful”
• Buddy hugs someone
• The “North Pole” is mentioned
• Buddy gets mistaken for working as an Elf

So break out your best Elf shoes, and get ready to get really drunk. If anyone calls, don’t forget to answer, “Buddy the Elf. What’s your favorite color?”
