Electric blanket is my first choice for winter camping comfort. If you can't do that, just get your body temperature up right before you jump in the sack. A long hot shower or stroll around the camp loop will warm you up. The sleeping bag will maintain the temperature better if you start out warm. Another trick, lay on the sleeping bag with your warm clothes on. Just as you arse heats up a seat at the office, so will your body on the bed.

Dominos are nice. There are many easy games for the kids, they won't be ruined with rain or split drinks, and they don't blow away.

Good thread with tons of advice. Isn't the internet great?!
