This year marks the 5th Annual Humphries Family Christmas Letter. Since we began this little tradition (Yes, I know, I didn’t actually create the concept of an Annual Christmas Letter. As with the Internet, Global Warming and Extreme Ultimate Fighting Competitions, it’s all Al Gore’s fault.) – anyway, in the five years that we have [...]
This is it - the last round. Of course, heading into Round 6, we are all tied up - with Jason and Aunt Sharon boasting 40 points a piece (out of a possible 50). Could it get any tighter?
Should we reach a stalemate at the end of these 10 questions, I’ll start launching one question bonus [...]

Before we begin Round 3, I have a quick programming note.
My site is designed to feature the two [...]
All right. The results are in and we officially have a contest. A thin line separates Aunt Sharon from Poe Gostal a.k.a. my cousin Jason. While Poe took the early lead, Aunt Sharon staged an impressive comeback.
Could things get any more dramatic? Any more biblical? We’re talking Mother against Son here.
All right, once more we step into [...]
As promised, here are the questions from the Humphries Family 3rd Annual Christmas in the Sticks. I know that I mentioned this party marks our seventh festive fiesta but this was only the third one held where Donners fear to tread – hence the fuzzy math. Math? Hey, they just got the abacus out this [...]
