This isn't so much a game as a silly puzzle. However, if you can think of some others to add to my list, that would be brilliant!!

Christmas non- rhymes

The following clues will each lead to a two word answer; both words end with the same letters, so really should rhyme, but don’t!! For example: DEMON LEMON.

1. A Christmas proposal of marriage might do this?

2. I went to put on my blusher for the Christmas party, and the foam had fallen off the applicator. So I had to do this.

3. I’m so upset. When making my pastry, I accidentally broke my favourite kitchen implement. I’m now having to do this…

4. I made my decorations very green this year. In fact they are:

5. Actually, the reindeer smelled like this after he had eaten the door decoration!

6. It’s nice to have the girls home for Christmas, at the moment, all I can hear is…

7. It’ll be so difficult to cook my turkey this year. Following a serious accident with an axe, we now have a…

8. Father Christmas has so many noisy lice crawling around in his facial hair, when he was coming down the chimney I…

9. AAh, there is a flame-haired caroller outside. In fact, she’s a…

11. Over there, the Magi were awestruck by the miraculous star.

12. A part of the knobbly Christmas tree?

14. Oh look at that, kids. Dad has got cranberry sauce all over him. I need a volunteer to be a…

15. I’ve got a burned bit on my tummy. When I made those mince pies, I really shouldn’t have…

Should I assume, from the stunned silence, that no one has any idea what I'm rattling on about here?

you've got me stumped

is 13 Give and Five?

is 9 ginger singer?

is 13 Give and Five? Yes!
is 9 ginger singer? Yes!

I'm going to print it out and give it to my mother to keep her quiet on Christmas day.

well, one of my work colleagues made the mistake of complaining that my Christmas Quiz was too easy (I'm just doing a Sheep game - then I don't get asked where the soap questions are....), so I gave him this to try.
So far he's got:

5: Breath and Wreath
8: Heard and Beard

he's doing better than me (ie, I haven't got any yet..), but then, I'm having to spend all my time doing the sheep scoring...

Well done!! I must apologise, you will now be realising that some of them are corny to say the least!

I think I might have an answer for number 2.

You only had to ask. You think I score them by hand?!

well, ok, so I spent a nice time designing my excel spreadsheet to calculate the scores for me. Is that better?
(maybe I could have asked, but that would have removed the fun. I do like that sort of thing, after all! )

Sheep scoring?

Have I missed something here?

Well I haven't run a sheep game on here yet (and nor has anyone else.) But I'm sure I will get around to it soon enough

(In a Sheep game, there is a list of categories for which each entrant submits five associated words. You score points according to how many other people chose the same word - hence the idea is to try and be a "sheep" by picking the most popular words. It's a lot harder than it sounds, although some people seem to have an uncanny knack for it.)

We have had a sheepish game running on the other side for the past couple of weeks.

I like sheep games, (and sheepish ones too). And I have been quite sheepish about some of my recent answers.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaa.

as long as you don't follow that with Humbug!
Well done and Merry Christmas to all.

I now have three answers, but they don't seem to include number 2 (I can't remember what I had thought of)

Ah OK, I'll go and have a look!

Now I thought I'd spoken to you before about your sheep obsession, Scurra. I really don't want to have the thought of you scoring poor sheep with anything!!

I'll probably post answers to these so that you can all have a good groan at the answers just after new year.
