in 1836.
Santa's Sleigh
Theme oi Game
“Santa’s Packing His Sleigh” is
a quiet Christmas game that pro
vides fun and hearty laughter. It
starts simply enough with one mem
her of the group saying, “Santa’s
packing his sleigh, and he’s bring
ing a toy dog.”
Then each person repeats the
sentence, adding another gift to
Santa’s sleigh. The object of the
game is to repeat correctly, in
order, the complete list of gifts
in Santa’s sleigh—and it’s harder
than it sounds.
As the list gets longer and long
er, more and more players just can’t
seem to remember the whole list
and its order, so consequently they
drop out, until only one is left.
Charades Give
Fun on Holiday
Christmas charades is a lively
game that the whole family will
enjoy.
Divide the group into two teams.
Individual members of teams are
then called upon to act out a word,
character, phrase, scene or situa
tion—and since it’s Christmas, all
the charades should have Christ
mas overtones.
Subjects are supplied on a slip
of paper by the opposing team
and then passed on to the "actor.”
From here on, it’s his job to see
how quickly he can get his team
mates to guess what he is acting
out.
“The Night Before C h r i s t
mas,” "Jingle, Bells,” “A Par
tridge in a Pear Tree,” and “Fill
ing the Christmas Stocking” are
just some of the many, many sub
jects that can be used.

RON AND RUBY McDONALD
A popular pencil-and-paper game
is called “word play.” The object
of the game is to see how many
words can be made from a phrase
such as “Merry Christmas to All.”
A time limit is set, and the rule
is that no letter can be used in
any word more often than it ap
pears in the phrase.
In other words, words made from
“ Merry Christmas to All” can in
clude no more than one “e,” *“i,”
or “o,” while they could contain
as many as two “m’s” or three
“r ’s.”
Since word play involves compe
tition among its players, it’s ad
visable to allow the children to
compete against one another, while
the adults battle it out among
themselves.
Remove perspiration stains from
clothing by soaking them in a so
lution of strong salt water.
2/^e wish
everyone a happy
and joyous
Yuletide holiday.
