Book(s) For Men
Manual for Conquering Deadly Sin and/or Manual for Spiritual Warfare. Both of these are solid books that are a benefit for men and women, but I feel like they are geared toward a man and specifically a father, leading his family.
Books for Women
100 Holy Hours for Women is a book that was written for religious sisters, but great for women of any walk of life. A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms is a 52 week guide by a brilliant author I consider a friend.
For the younger readers, Angel Stories from the Bible is a beautiful hardback your kids will love and the Tinyville books have books that will progress your child from infant board books to readers. For the older kids, any of the Pauline Books graphic novels are great, but there's a new one called The Life of Jesus worth checking out!
Games with a Catholic Feel to Them
Sagrada is a fun game of dice drafting and placement that has you building stained glass windows. It's between printings now, but you might find one at a local Barnes and Noble if you're lucky. Fresco is a worker-placement game that has you restoring the roof of a chapel. This comes in regular and big box version. Regular is about all you need, unless you are a seasoned gamer. Unfortunately, it looks like this is temporarily off sale, so you'd get a better deal buying the Big Box than the regular version.
Secular Games
King of Tokyo is a Yahtzee-like game of monsters battling for control of Japan. Smash some monsters and destroy your friends and family. Castle Panic is a cooperative game with 3-D element that have you defending your castle against wave after wave of monsters. Base game is great for beginners, but there are three expansions which can ramp up the difficulty quickly. Both can play up to six, so they're great for a crowd!
That's all I've got for y'all. Merry Christmas!
