My family needs a tradition where nobody gets stoned until the food's finished cooking or I blow the whistle. My mom gets wicked distracted. She thinks when the potatoes are cooking is a good time to go outside and take a few puffs. Her potatoes are always overcooked. /rant
Monty Python should be a part of everyday life.

We leave that to my dad. My mom's recovered and I don't drink. Two of my sisters get sloshed at holidays sometimes, though.

It's a ball of plastic wrap filled with random shit. There's a game for quickly unwrapping it that causes said shit to fly all over the place.
I'm having trouble picturing what you mean. Is the "random shit" like dollar store gifts or something? It sounds like a fun game, but "random shit" is a little ambiguous.
It's completely ambiguous and completely random. Literally anything that will fit in the ball goes in the ball. Last year, my sister did stuff like crayons, a soup mix, scratch tickets and candy. This year, I put in hand sanitizer, toys, a hilarious Jesus figurine, candy, scratch tickets and I booby-trapped it with a toy that will fly out once the pressure is released. Mwahaha. You'll get a mix of good and meh stuff. The fun is in the game. So, the first person starts unraveling while the next person rolls a pair of die until it hits doubles, then it goes around in the same fashion until it's gone.
