We’ve been shopping, baking, decorating etc. How about taking the time to have a little fun? As in, a word game?
Here’s one I came up with. The following are some common terms you hear at Christmastime–“costumed” in some fancy language.
The challenge? To “unmask” them by translating them into more common terms!
1. Monarch of genus mus musculus.
2. Dozen diurnals of Yule
3. Phantasm of yesterYule
4. Rangifer terandus afflicted with rhinorosacea
5. Adorn the passageways with portions of pointy-leaved arbor
If you guess all five–extra candy canes in your stocking! Four means you’re headed in the right “Christmas-y” direction. But three or less–you really need a few more “snow days” and some hot chocolate, to take some time and enjoy.
