A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

Wrap in brown papper and put Table gifts that either sex could use in the middle. Take turns toThrow dice, a one or a six, if you throw a six you get another go. If one or six is thrown that person chooses a gift, this continues until none left. Now start again for two minutes only trying to throw the elusive 1 or six each time someone steals whichever parcel they want. Until times up. Some prizez are booby prizes and some are good all cost under £6 . I try to pad small things to look huge or put card in them to disguise the shape. Usually one or two are believed to be a “special” one so it gets stole and stole again and again. Last years “special” was a lump of coal. Everyone loves this game of mine. I make sure we dont stop until each person has at least one.

I was trying to explain it to friends the other night. They looked at me like I was crazy. I think to appreciate it one needs to play once.

You can use my game if you would like. I won a stick on moustache and a pair of scented candles last year. My mother got a head band light we made her wear until tea time she looked fetching once i added a sticky moustache!
