Thanks dots... BTW we did have a nice Christmas. WE PLAYED SPOONS, most players under the age of 13, but it was great. We didn't eliminate players, however. We had so many at my daughter's house, new players were standing behind chairs to fill the players' chairs who didn't get a spoon. That way there were two competitions going, one to get a spoon, another to get an opened spot. It worked out well. Thanks for bringing this game to mind. My grandchildren are finally able to play and it was a new experience for them. It brought back memories for my girls. They actually remembered playing during holiday get togethers when they were wee ones.
