Man, let me tell you what I did NOT want for Christmas is a collection of holiday themed minigames, but you know, you say “minigames” and there’s someone just waiting to make a Wii game for you. I guess I should be more optimistic — if I had a kid, we could play Destineer’s new We Wish You A Merry Christmas with them and they could meet Santa Claus in the game, therefore taking away all his mystique and proving to them he is definitely not a real person.

The game features six minigames including Deck The Halls, Santa’s Sleigh, Hot Chocolate and more. It’ll be out on October 27th, so you can buy it early and keep it as a stocking stuffer. Don’t be surprised if the person you give it to gives you a box of reindeer poop the following year, though.
