Coming up next, we wanted to hear from you. >> So, we're taking the spotlight off of us and on to you. >> Let's see what you had to say. So, my favorite Christmas memory growing up was getting my own drum set uh when I was four years old. Um, always, you know, love instruments and, you know, getting that, you know, my mom bought it for me. I probably just like bang on those drums constantly until like 12:00 a.m. every day. My favorite Christmas memory is basically watching Christmas movies with my nephews and nieces, spending the whole night uh eating popcorn and enjoying the night with them. >> My favorite Christmas memory would be when me, my brother, uh Daryl and like pretty much my whole family played like Just Dance and like uh we were mad for some reason and then we started throwing like cookies and stuff at each other and like cake and all that stuff and it was just really fun just getting to uh do all that stuff with them. So yeah. So my favorite memory from Christmas is every Christmas Eve, me and all of my four siblings would go into my oldest siblings room and we would all come in there with our pillows and stuff and we would watch the Grinch together and then on Christmas morning we literally would run down the steps and literally jump on my parents' bed. We would never open any gifts. We had to wait until my dad came, but we would wake them up like it's Christmas, it's Christmas. But yeah, that's it. So, Leila, what is your favorite thing? >> I would say Jesus and sleeping. He did say to rest on the seventh day, everyone. >> Okay. Well, one of my favorite things is snitle with noodles. >> Okay. >> Interesting. >> Google it. You'll hear more about that on the next song with Lauren on My Favorite Things. >> Hey. Yeah. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Fried copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages tied up a string. These are a few of my favorite things. La. Oh, green color ponies and crisp apples strudel. Door bells and sleigh bells and snit soap with noodles. Wild geese that fly with on their wings. These are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites, when the beast sings, when I'm feeling sad, I don't want to be sad. >> I simply remember my favorite things. And then I don't feel so bad. So bad. So bad. Silver white winters that melt into spring. These are a few of my favorite things. My favorite. >> Oh yeah. >> My favorite. >> Oh yeah. >> My favorite. >> Oh yeah. >> My favorite. >> Oh yeah.

They've got five words to describe it. No acting it out, no hints. The next player steps in and can only snag four of those words. Then it's down to three for the next player. Now we're cranking it up with just two. And the grand finale. The last player has to take a wild guess using only two clues. If they guess wrong, well, that's all part of the crazy fun.
