 A final thought...

I created this Christmas word game book because I know what it’s like to want something fun, meaningful, and easy to use during the holidays. And I want fabulous brain health for as long as I live.

As a senior myself (and someone who’s worked in the heath arena for decades), I design games that bring joy without pressure. I hope these pages make you laugh, think, and maybe even spark some stories or memories along the way.

Thanks for stopping by and happy holidays from Granny Maze!

Now, who's up for a round of tongue twisters?
