Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
By Diane Forrest
Have you ever wondered what kind of games Reindeer
play? I always wondered until I saw the
cartoon of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
They were having fun tossing a ball around, playing hide and seek, and
having races.

Well you don't have to be a reindeer to play games
today. Today is Games Day. The first Games day was held in 1975 in
England. The convention was important because there were few outlets for gamers
to meet each other and play, and Games Workshop used this in their efforts to
build the gaming scene in the U.K. Today
the Games Day convention is held regularly in the United Kingdom at the
National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham. It draws enthusiasts of Games
Workshop's three main games (Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer, Lord of the Rings).
Not just a commercial venture, gamers go to play their games. However, the
event also includes presentations by special guests from the Games Workshop's
head office in Nottingham.

However, you don't have to be a video game enthusiast to
participate today, you don't even have to travel to England! You can pull out some old board games and
play with your family, or you can even break out a deck of cards and play solitaire.

Today on Game Day, just have fun, and play, relax your
mind and get rid of the stress from taking care of all your holiday duties.
