How to host a Christmas Family Feud game

Before the party, ask a few friends or family members to answer each question privately. Their most common answers become your answer list.
Split into two teams and pick a captain for each.
Read a question. The first captain to slap the table gives an answer.
If the answer is on your list, that team keeps guessing. Three wrong answers and the other team can steal.
Award one point per answer found, or rank answers so the most popular scores the most.
First team to an agreed score wins the right to choose dessert first.

Because you build your own answer list from your guests, the answers below are suggestions to get you started, not official survey results.

Use a bell or a pot lid as the buzzer.
Mix kids and adults on each team so the youngest players get a turn.
Keep a fast pace and skip any question that stalls for more than a minute.
