A nice card game can provide a distraction from the cold and dreary nights. The 52 cards can mix up in so many different ways for hours of fun.

I like that there are the same amount of cards as there are weeks in the year. If you have a hard time counting blessings or want to try something new, take a card in each deck and name something that you’re grateful for that either starts with the letters AKQJ or the name a number of things starting with 2 through 10.

It might be hard to think of something for each, but you can always combine a few cards for the Blackjack game of the year!
