The “George Washington Christmas Game” supports special populations as described on our “about” page. Donors get game points when they donate. Volunteers compete to get points by turning a Special Hero into a Super Hero. Donors award points for great community volunteering, sports, carnival style games, campfire skits, education, karaoke challenges and any type of fund raising activity volunteers can do to share the good cheer of the American Spirit.
Donors use the search link above to open gifts of the American Spirit. Donors are also called “Landlubbers.” They do not need to read the rest of the website. The rest of the website is for volunteers called “Sailors” or “Pirates.”
Volunteers will need about an hour (mostly watching video) to learn the pirate comedy theme and to know how to create “Gifts” of the American Spirit. Think of each gift as being a booth, event, competition or performance at a state fair. Donors are the people attending who just have fun and food. Volunteers create the fun and food. Volunteers have lots of ways to win cash and prizes or earn a 10% referral fee on donations to turn their own Special Hero into a Super Hero!
July 4, 2025 President Trump declares the beginning of a year long “Great American State Fair,” for our 250th Birthday.
The “George Washington Christmas Game” celebrates the American Spirit! In 1776 munitions and supplies “liberated” from British ships were called “Booty.” The British called our marines “Scurvy Dog Pirates!” A Dubloon was a gold Spanish coin all pirates wanted. It was commonly called a “loony.” We measure the “American Spirit” you create by the loony minute. 1 loony = 1 minute. If you like what a pirate (volunteer) did to “Share Good Cheer,” surrendered booty from your British (donor) account goes into the Pirates’ account. You both get a score measured in “booty.” Biggest booty wins!
250 years ago a group of fishermen, hunters and farmers created a secret weapon to defeat the British. Some of the marines going across the Delaware River with George Washington would be unarmed musicians marching into the center of battle singing and playing “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” The worse the battle got the happier they would play and sing even when mortally wounded. The good cheer from the music created high morale and inspired the good deeds of fighting courageously. Our pirates were out gunned, out numbered and an all volunteer force fighting with hunting weapons, small fishing boats and farm tools. They regularly defeated a vastly superior enemy by creating the good cheer of “The American Spirit.” To this day, “Yankee Doodle Dandy” is the number 1 song played in fife and drum competitions. The unarmed marine musicians who marched into battle playing and singing “Yankee Doodle Dandy” became our country’s first rock stars.
George Washington crossed the Delaware River on Christmas Day, 1776. To honor George and how he created the American Spirit with the unarmed musicians, we call this “The George Washington Christmas Game.” This game was developed as a way to support the vocational group home described on our about page. The GWCG makes it very easy to organize fun, games, skits, competitions and volunteers to celebrate our 250th birthday or any party. It is also a great way to manage duties at your business, break room or family. It does what George Washington did, create the good cheer of the American Spirit.
This is a score board for the American Spirit!
People that don’t know how to play (donors), can be part of your team. These people are called “Landlubbers.” They are given simple directions or just watch. They play alongside dedicated volunteers. This makes the George Washington Christmas Game all inclusive and any “Special Hero” can play.
If you are a landlubber and are playing the pen and paper version just wait for instructions or read the instructions below. If you are a landlubber that wants to play online, register and pay $1 to join the Atlanta Volunteers. On this page treasure hunt for “gifts” with the search engine at the top of the page. Press a button that says “Share Good Cheer.’ A receipt show on your phone screen. Follow the instructions for the gift. When you run out of booty, press a button that says “loony.” Donate 25 cents for each game point you want. Your balance is at the top right of your screen. If you are a landlubber, your instructions are finished! Bub-bye! Have fun! Good luck! Bless your heart!
Sailors do the serious work of a state fair such as safety and construction. Pirates create the fun and food. Your purpose is to “Share Good Cheer” first, and then improve the health and wellness of the community where you live. Unless you are a landlubber donating to the Atlanta Volunteers to “Get Loony,” you will not see or use credit cards anywhere at the Pirate Dive Bar. The one dollar you spend to join the Atlanta Volunteers should be your only expense and your first goal is to learn how to recycle by being tipped at least $1 in cash. Earning your first dollar is your initiation into the “Atlanta Volunteers.” Earn 10 cents when somebody scans your QR code to register and you get “Clubhouse” privileges. Your first 10 cents teaches you how to follow our automated 1099 & W-2 system. Depending on how well you share the American Spirit, you could earn cash, prizes, crew share or be cast or crew on a TV series called “Special Heroes.” Some of the rewards are spectacular!
Typical volunteer “Gifts” of the American Spirit are 1 to 25 minutes. To begin, watch the instructional video then take about 10 minutes to create your first gift. It is about 1 minute to create a gift after that. If you don’t mind being called a “Landlubber” you can register then skip all the instructions and just click a few times to open gifts from anywhere around the world. Pen and paper instructions are here, George Washington Christmas game and the online instructions below.
Just as a nonprofit site should be, you will see nothing for sale and no advertising! Donate $1 to our nonprofit to sign the 250th birthday card or read the replies of others. Using a new method of registering, the one dollar donation does a few surprising things. Of course it supports our vocational group home, but it is like the blue check mark on X but lets you use a fake email with no verification or app to download, verifies your age as 18+ and keeps AI, bots and trouble makers from commenting. But the best thing it does is allow you to put your phone down and find or build actual volunteer missions to create the “American Spirit.”
This website contains volunteer activities for our 250th birthday that also support Special Heroes. Anyone can volunteer. This website is simple, but yet will be hard to follow as it is also pre-production training for a TV series called “Special Heroes.” In a nutshell: The TV series a features a different Special Hero each week. A group of family, friends and volunteers figure out a plan for their Special Hero. Coffee shop, manufacturing at home, dog walking or anything. A public ledger keeps track of each volunteer minute spent helping a Special Hero. Volunteers trade minutes and compete on a scoreboard. A competition between 30 hero teams creates a youtube TV series. The TV series produces income but also provides advertising for the businesses created for the Special Heroes. The volunteer missions create comedy and “B” roll for the TV series. The production method and software is modular blocks of crowd sourced content that can be continuously updated to improve any part of the interactive TV series. Once somebody registers and shares volunteer minutes, they understand how the interactive aspects of the TV series functions. By registering for the 250th Birthday Celebrations we are also registering an audience for the TV series. It will be difficult the first year, but by year three we should be huge! A quick peek at the episode structure is here, instructional video here. The George Washington Christmas Game is a surprising way to create “Good Cheer” for “Special Heroes.” Only “test” data is in the site as it is in canary testing. It will launch after beta testing.
The marines were an innovative mix of volunteers. Why did they volunteer?
