Holiday Tradition

I have a very specific tradition for every holiday event with my father's side of the family. My cousins and brothers and I always always ALWAYS play sports. Outside, no matter the weather. The colder the better, in fact. When I say sports I obviously mean either football or basketball. As for the teams, they are permanently set as follows: myself and my older cousin Thomas vs. my older brother John and Thomas' little brother Matthew. It's actually a  pretty close matchup. Thomas and I are far better athletes than our adversaries, yet we try to show off a little, which ultimately gives John and Matthew a chance to win. I might try a sick alley oop pass to Thomas that'll get stolen, or a crazy lateral that might result in a turnover. It's great fun, and after the game we all go inside and enjoy some of Grandma's cookies and..... Oreo dessert.
