Ghost Busters! 

Dictionary Game

The game dictionary is so much fun and the only thing you need is a dictionary or you could use an online dictionary .

How to play:  the person whose turn it is picks out a word from the dictionary that nobody in your group knows and writes its description down.

At the same time each person writes down their definition of the word making it as convincing as possible.

Now the person whose turn it is reads all the descriptions out loud and everyone says which one they think is  right. 

You get one point for guessing the right definition.  And one point for each time someone has picked your definition.

One round is when everyone gets a turn to read the descriptions. You can play as many rounds as you want to.  It’s best to decide how many rounds you want to play before you start that way no wants to quit when they are ahead.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art The Angel Tree

Something you should try to do once in your life is go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the  Christmas season and see their Angel Tree. It's kept in the Medieval Sculpture Hall. It's fun to go on Friday or Saturday in the evening. The museum is open until 9:00 and they have live music playing in the lobby. Until you get there here's some photos. 

Here's the link if you'd like to see more.
