Then after Christmas lunch she’d ask us each in turn to give an adjective, the worse the better, and when the letter had been filled in (the adjectives going in in the order they were given), she’d read out the letter and the result was hilarious.

So you’d have “... Sally is looking ... in her ... dress and ... stockings and ... Peter has no dress sense with his ... tie matching with his ... shirt” as an example.

Just wanted to call in here to wish all my ex-SS Friends a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

But also any of you who are not ex-SS players. We used to play a game like that when we were kids. It was called MadLibs and came in a book. Not just adjectives were left out, but random nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. It was a great game, especially on a rainy summer day! After we finished the book of them, we started making up our own, like your Mom did. Your mention of it brought back some great memories!!
