Just because the gifts are opened and the paper strewn about the living room doesn't mean the fun of Christmas is over. Add some merry party games to Christmas day to extend the fun of Christmas. 1.) One entertaining memory game for Christmas that kids particularly like is to make everyone pay careful attention to all the gifts that are opened. After the gifts are removed from the room (or you remove yourselves from the gift room) have everyone try and remember every single gift everyone got. Include stockings and any food gifts. Tell people they only have to remember the items that were opened that day, not any gifts they received and opened prior to Christmas day. This can be a fun game that's particularly popular with kids because they love to relive the gift magic.

In addition, if they were so immersed with their own gifts they didn't notice anyone else's this is a good chance for them to educate themselves about what everyone got that day. 2.) If you need a Christmas game to keep everyone busy before dinner, try the 'guess me' game. Buy some large heavy socks, not low-rise, but the type that are worn outdoors in the winter that are thick and come at least to the calf. Put several items in the socks. Make sure identical items are in each sock.

These items should be related to Christmas in some way. You might include a small ornament, scotch tape, a pinecone, a Hershey's Kiss, and the like. Have each person feel the socks (having two socks just makes the game go faster, but you can play with just one sock), and write down their guesses about what's in the socks. Be sure to tell everyone how many items are in each sock. The winner gets, you guessed it, one of the socks!

3.) If you have a bunch of wanna-be performers in your group on Christmas day, how about playing a little game of 'Christmas Idol'? Set up a small table for the 'judges' and have teams of 2 people (or individuals, if they want) sing a Christmas carol. Tell them to have a lot of fun with the song, and even add a Santa hat or other dress-up items if they wish.

The winners can take home a CD of Christmas music. This game is particularly fun if just the children want to perform and be judged by the adults, or if, conversely, the adults perform and are judged by the children.

W hether you’re throwing a party for adults or kids, Christmas party games can be fun icebreakers that help bring people together. They may even make your party the hit of the holiday season. So throw on your Santa hat, get a few supplies together, and try one of these fun, festive Christmas games. If you’re planning a party or hosting a houseful of friends, relatives, or excited kids during this busy holiday season, you’ll want a few activities to keep everyone busy and happy. Read on for some great ideas for Christmas party games that provide really fun ways to spend time together, whether or not you plan to exchange gifts. Christmas Card Couples This is a great icebreaker – especially when some of your guests aren’t acquainted with each other. Here’s how it works: • Gather up old Christmas cards and cut each illustrated cover in half until you have as many card halves as guests.

• Mix the halves up in a basket and keep the basket by the front door or near the drinks. • Have each guest select a card-half from the basket.

• Armed with their card, they’ll ask each person they meet to see their card-half until they finally locate their “other half.” • Once everyone has arrived, announce that the holders of the first three cards to get matched up will win a small prize. North Pole Two-by-Two A perfect ice-breaker for all ages, Two-by-Two is a loud game that will get everyone laughing. The rules are simple enough for even the youngest guest to understand: • Everyone stands in two parallel lines facing each other. • Give each person in one line a piece of paper with a “North Pole” animal on it. • Give matching pieces of paper to each person in the opposite line.

• After giving everyone a few minutes to think, say “go!” Everyone acts like their assigned animal – flapping their wings, stomping their hooves, waddling like a penguin – and tries to find their “mate” on the opposite side of the room. The main rule to this game is no talking! Make a Reindeer Rack Divide your guests into equal teams and give each a bag with these items: • One unused pair of pantyhose with a five-inch hole cut in the tummy panel and both feet cut off • Red ribbon • Red bow • 14 small, long-shaped balloons Then proceed with the game as follows: • Put five minutes on the clock.

• Ask one member of each team to be the “reindeer.” That person puts the pantyhose on her head with her face showing through the hole. • The team blows the balloons up and slips them through the open end of the pantyhose until they resemble antlers. • Close the hole with the ribbon and decorate the “antlers.” • Stick the red bow to the person’s nose for a Rudolph effect. • The team that makes the best antlers wins. Right and Left Gift Game This game requires some preparation, but it’s a crowd-pleaser for parties at which guests bring a “white elephant” gift. Write a story that’s a few minutes long and contains the words “left” and “right” many times. For example: Mr.
