Manly Holidays

Jan 04, 2013 | Rita

By: Christer Edvartsen

Men have a chance to enjoy when they are alone at home in the holidays. Once you’ve called the folks over, it’s inevitable to have a bash. You may be surprised with the fun you can have in the company of your own chromosomes. Here are some ideas for having a real blast this holiday season

1. Beer tasting experiment

There’s a natural correlation between men and beer. Seasonal beers would be a great choice, as they come from trusted makers. You and your mates can have fun while tasting different beers. Crossover beers will work well in the beginning with unusual brews coming after a while. Provide munchies in between, and ask your folks to bring along any exotic preferences. To spice it up, consider playing music while the experiment goes on. Jointly, the best tasting beers can be assorted aside for the poker night.

2. Treasure hunting

Take the guys along with you for discovering well-hidden treasures. This will involve geocaching. Try to go for objects or containers in nearby areas by looking at the coordinates online. Ask your friends to bring along GPS devices, or arrange one for them. It’s a good way to explore the parts of town where you’ve never been to. It’s like going on a mini adventure. Plan this activity by searching for a list of geocaches that fall in your location.

3. Knife trade shows

You’ll love the sharp, manly options present in these shows. The best looking custom knives are offered in these trade shows. If you have a company of serious collectors, or are one yourself, you’re in for quality time. Knives can be bought for hunting, and there’s also an option to surprise the guys with holiday presents at the spot. Sharp nifty knives are also available online on sites like DLT Trading in case you miss out in a trade show.

4. Movie marathon

The action theme would be the first pick on any day. Grab some pop corns, and gather in front of that large screen for an action flick marathon. Some great options include Rambo Trilogy, The Punisher, Terminator 2 – Judgment Day and The Fight Club. All the shooting, fighting and blow ups will amuse you and the company.

5. Camping

There may be one or two public camp grounds near your home. Let your mates loose with their bad habits with camping. Some items to take along include lightweight lawn chairs, coolers, grill and some sleeping bags. There can be a bonfire, and guys usually love chatting around the fire. Guys can even sing along together, or share amusing stories during the night.

With these ideas, guys can get along and have real fun this holiday season.

    The Movie Marathon is a great idea! We are movie collectors, so we have a huge variety. Some of the guys like to do Star Wars or Comic Action (Thor, Avengers, Spiderman, etc) movies. Mine like something like Hot Wings and Spicy Meatballs to eat 🙂 And for some of us, it’s not just a “guy thing” 😀
