Have you guys ever played the elimination game?
It's fun.

So first we have a list of a few holidays, which each start off with ten points. On each post, subract a point from one you don't like and add one point to whichever you like the most. Once something gets to 0 points, it is deleted and can not be brought back. The one left at the end is the winner. You can not post twice in a row, and please write at the top which ones you are plusing and minusing.

10 New Years!!!!
10 Martin Luther King Jr. Day
10 Valentines Day
10 St. Patricks Day
10 Mardi Gras
10 Mother's Day
10 Father's Day
10 4th of July
10 Halloween
10 Thanksgiving
10 Any winter Holiday (Christmas, Kwanzaa )

If I forgot anything ( I don't really know any European holidays) just add them in with ten points. I think it would be easier if we left out religious ones. (Just because we don't want anyone to get offended if we subract from Ramadan or something.)






I'll go first so you get the idea!

If taking one from Hallowe'en means that some of the local children will stop throwing eggs at buses etc. on October 31st, then I'll do it..... A shame that some people have to be so irresponsible.....
