December gathering
Print a game and get everyone playing
Choose one to thirty cards. Add an optional seed to reproduce the exact set later, print the cards, and use the host caller to draw every word once. The words are general holiday imagery; this is an independent activity, not an official or licensed game.

A few helpful answers
Before you begin.
Will every card be different?
Yes. A generated set of up to thirty cards uses distinct word layouts. Each card has twenty-four different words and a free center.
What does the seed do?
The same seed and card count reproduce the same card set. Leave it blank for a fresh set each time.
Can the caller repeat a word?
No. The caller shuffles the words present on the current cards and returns each once, then announces that all words have been called.
