The Christmas thread

[Prufrock]

My mum spends the week between Xmas and New Year sorting out our New Year's Day quiz. It's basically like the faces round of a pub quiz. She cuts out about 80 photos from the array of shite magazines she collects throughout the year and sticks them on about ten bits of paper. You pair up and pass the sheets round, doing one at a time. She'll get a spread between your one directions and your old film stars form the TV guide. £10 cash prize for the best pair. Always keeps us happy.

I'm well having a go at this.

We're hosting Christmas this year, I need some good games to play!

Suggestions?

We play quotations... For which you need a Dictionary of Quotations. One player selects a quotation and announces the name of the author and the subject matter. So - to take a random one I've just spotted from my dictionary: John F Kennedy on poetry... All players invent a quotation and write it down and hand it in to the 'chair', who has written the true quotation down on his sheet... He/she reads out all the quotations and, in turn, the players select the one they think is true. The dictionary is passed to the next player after each round...

One point if you get it right. One point for each time a person selects your made up quotation.

Short quotations are best. So JFK 0n poetry is: 'When power corrupts, poetry cleanses' (Speech at the Robert Frost Library , 1963.)

Additional points may be awarded by acclamation for witty and/or clever fictional quotations.

We usually start this slightly before the Queens Speech and conclude long after it!

Charades....

Spin the bottle ?

Only half of them can be related ... & cousins are quite 'legal' apparently.

Is my family odd? Are we lacking in wit or mirth?

Our Christmas is Boxing Day. Christmas Day is reserved for my children to attend their respective spouse's family show and tell.

To date there has been no necessity to introduce games into the day's agenda. It's usually a fun day with lots of badinage, 'catching up' and the inevitable giggles and faux shock-and-horror comments.

I wouldn't change it for quids.

It's a party at the Co-op bank, I think... Rev Flowers likes soup...

Christmas markets are absolutely rammed pretty much all the time now in Manchester as everyone comes in from all over the NW. Being a local it just means I get annoyed at not being able to walk as fast back to the flat. What a miserable bastard.

Can't throw the car keys in the middle, no one's got any space to park the bloody things.

Knock a general knowlege quiz up on Word or something and print a few sheets off, either individual or team. Mixed teams of kids and grown up usually work out okay.

My brother is on with this I think - you've just reminded me to check!
