There may019 Archivesno better way to bid a hearty farewell to this year than to utterly shelter oneself from external stimuli for five days -- and instead, spend that time bingeing Game of Throneson HBO live.

From Dec. 26 to Dec. 31, HBO (technically HBO2) will air the entirety of its Emmy-winning fantasy juggernaut, so if you've avoided the show thus far or just feel like reliving the Red Wedding, this is a foolproof chance to do it. If you feel like a real challenge, tune in at random with a viewing partner who hasn't seen the show and see if you can explain all that wiley Westerosi madness.

" DRACARYS!"
Three days until the #GameOfThrones marathon. Watch every season from 12/26 – 12/31 on @HBO 2. pic.twitter.com/kktCSvJN2i
