Check out all the piñatas at http://www.showyourpizzazz.com/pinatasanimals.html How about a trivia game? Visit the Show Your Pizzazz Gift Finder for tons of family games! www.ShowYourPizzazz.com Here are two all time favorite card games that the whole family can enjoy: CHEAT or BS - Deal all the cards from either one or two decks of cards depending on the number of players. There is an empty discard pile in the middle of the table. The first player will lay down one or several cards (face down) into the discard pile announcing the suit and quantity of the cards he is discarding. Ie..(3) twos or (2) aces, etc. Since the cards are discarded face down, you do not have to play the rank or quantity you are calling. For example if you lay down (2) threes and a King, you announce that you are laying down (3) threes or any mixture of cards. Any player who suspects that the cards discarded by a player do not match the rank called can challenge the play by calling “cheat” or “BS” depending on what you call the game. Then the cards played by the challenged player are exposed. If the cards match what the player said they were, the challenger must pick up the whole discard pile but if the player was caught cheating, the person who played the cards must pick up the whole discard pile. The player who empties his hand successfully the fastest, is declared the winner. SPOONS - Start with spoons in the center of the table within reach of all players. Include one less spoon than the number of players. Deal each player four cards with the deck in front of the dealer. The dealer pulls a card from the deck to include in his hand and then picks one card from his hand to passes it facedown to the player on his left. That player adds the card to his hand and passes one of his cards to the player on his left and so on with each player moving as quickly as possible. Each player should have four cards in their hand at all times.
The player just before the dealer places his discarded card into a
pile in front of the dealer to be used when the original deck is
finished. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THANKSGIVING RECIPES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grilled Honey Bourbon Turkey Breast 6 pounds turkey breast -- whole Marinade 1 cup Evan Williams bourbon 3/4 cup dry red wine 1/2 cup dry sherry 1/3 cup soy sauce 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary -- chopped black pepper to taste Glaze 3/4 cup Evan Williams Bourbon 1/3 cup honey 1/3 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Thank you for the kind words because I could not have been more nervous! I am not even sure what I said. Others have seen Show Your Pizzazz or USA Kids Christmas 2004 mentioned in several newspapers printed by the Pomerado News Group as well as the Rancho Magazine and the I-15 Diamond Gateway Chamber of Commerce Newsletter or even flyers posted by Thornton’s Advertising. Show Your Pizzazz would like to take this time to thank all the promotions directors and advertising gurus that have taken an interest in Show Your Pizzazz and our toy donation program for the needy military families! Most of this publicity was an effort to inform the public that we would be hosting our first toy drop off location at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Fall Festival in San Diego. The festival was a challenge but entertaining none the less. We did receive minimal cash donations but no toy donations at that time. I realize that the festival was just before Halloween and many folks were not yet thinking of the holidays so we will push on with many more toy drop locations over the next month or so. On a lighter note, Show Your Pizzazz held the entertainment chair for that Festival which showcased local talent on two stages. Everything from Amazing Science presentations, to Jazz dance, to pie eating contests, and martial arts displays were coordinated to entertain the estimated 15,000 attendees. I was blessed with several awards that day for our community service including:
Halloween has now come and gone and it is time for us to think about Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and all the other wonderful holidays in between! We want to hear from you!
