A simple game, known as 'Missing Vowels', which is probably familiar to many of you especially if you watch 'Only Connect' on a Monday evening. Players are given a theme as a clue to the answers then various words and phrases are spelt out omitting the vowels. I have done the first few to show how it works for anybody who doesn't already know it. The theme (surprise, surprise) is 'Christmas' and once we've exhausted Christmassy words and phrases somebody can then suggest a new, more challenging theme, anything goes... authors' names, capital cities, flowers, artists etc, etc

Why do Irish people have little Christmas Days?

It stems from changing the calendar and the old date was kept for the women to have a day off , the men cooked and tidied ..or something like that , I am not native Irish

Rocking around the Christmas tree.

Oh no, I keep singing it now.

aggie I think you are right, it is 'on' (they wouldn't get hot enough if they were 'by' the fire)

Little Christmas Day sounds like a brilliant idea, can we introduce it here? Better than:
