Left-Right Christmas Story Game

Every December the whole family piles into the van for the drive to Grandma's house. Dad checks the map and says, "We turn LEFT at the gas station." Mom says, "No, it's RIGHT after the gas station." They argue for six miles and finally turn LEFT. The kids in the back seat are already fighting over snacks. Sam grabs the pretzels from the RIGHT side of the cooler, and Mia grabs the cookies from the LEFT. Somebody spills juice, and everyone shuffles one seat to the RIGHT to stay dry. At the first rest stop, Dad realizes he LEFT his wallet on the counter. He runs back inside, then jogs back out holding a coffee, three candy canes, and a souvenir moose. "I'm not sure what happened," he says, "but it felt RIGHT." Back on the road, the GPS says, "In five hundred feet, keep LEFT." Then it says, "Recalculating. Turn RIGHT." Then, after a long silence, "Turn LEFT. Turn LEFT again. Please turn RIGHT." Mom takes the phone and points ACROSS the field. "Grandma's house is RIGHT there. We can see the chimney." They pull into the driveway just as Grandma waves from the porch. Uncle Ray is already parked on the LEFT, and Aunt June has taken every spot on the RIGHT, so Dad parks on the lawn. Grandma hugs everybody and says, "You're all here, and that's what's RIGHT about Christmas." Then she looks at the lawn and says, "Except that. Move the van." Whatever gift you're holding RIGHT now is yours to keep. Merry Christmas!
