Use those Christmas ties to have some fun. Give each team of two a tie. Using only one hand one person must tie his partner's tie. First one done wins.

Fill a large stocking with items around the house and let the guests guess what items are in the stocking.

This is a great ice breaker! Each person tells two stories about themselves, two of which are true and one that is not. A great Christmas twist is to name their three worst Christmas gifts; two would be true and one would be false.

Get dramatic! You can't beat this classic crowd pleaser, as it is sure to bring the laughs.

Divide into teams and have the participants race to fill their team's hanging stocking with a spoonful of wrapped sweets.

Set up assembly lines of gifts, boxes, scissors, wrapping paper, ribbon, and tape for each team. Either have each player wrap one gift or make an assembly line of workers. Then race to wrap!

Using Christmas words - Christmas, Candy cane, Poinsettia, etc. - have each person make as many smaller words from it as possible before the timer runs out.
