What is your favorite Xmas game?

A favorite family game is the mars bar game.

Items required:

a mars bar,

a die,

Knife and fork and plate,

Wooly hat scarf and gloves.

Rules:

All gather on the floor with mars on plate with knife and fork, hat scarf and gloves beside.

Each take turns to roll the die. When you roll a 6, you must don the hat scarf and gloves and then start to cut no more than 1cm pieces of mars bar and eat with knife and fork.

All the while the rest of the family keep rolling in turn, when the next 6 is rolled you take the hat scarf and gloves from the previous person and continue to eat the mars bar.

The winner is the person who finishes the last piece of mars bar.

Sounds simple but it is fiercely contested in the family, you can't get the die quickly enough, and hair is lost as the next person removes your wooly hat.

Great fun:j

So what is everyone else's favorites? Traditional or quirky?

No not really but it is a daft laugh.

Also do pass the parcel with a mars bar wrapped in newspaper to the size of a football for birthday parties. Only one page to be removed at a time.

similar to the mars bar game, except you have a stonking great bar of dairy milk, and the person who throws the 6 has to keep cramming in the chocolate till someone else gets a 6.

Does wonders for the digestion after Christmas dinner and large quantities of alcohol.
