Overview

Draw a letter card, start a two-minute timer and fill in an answer for each category that starts with that letter: something on a Christmas tree, a cookie, a winter animal, a Christmas song. When time is up, read your answers out loud and score a point for every answer nobody else wrote.

There are six lists of twelve categories, each with room for three rounds, so the game easily fills an evening.

  • Three rounds each

    Room for three letters per list.
