If you've been reading this blog for a while now you'll know that Christmas, to me, means an excess of good food and drink...a selection of "vintage" British Christmas specials thrown into the DVD player...and games. Also, let's be honest, it usually includes a few tons of tinsel and glitter. Which is why, this year, I'm going against the grain with a positively restrained version of tiddlywinks...let's call them Philo-winks...with Phoebe as the "squidger"...and colors from Céline's collection for next spring as the "winks".

Full rules can be found here...along with what it means to shoot a boondock, scrunge, or gromp. Just print out...stick onto cardboard...cut out...start playing...and discover that it's just about time to gather round the festive chicken/pork loin/roast beef.
