    We do this too, and it really elevates the spirit of the day. We also do a $20 adult gift exchange where we play the game where you can steal it and that's always fun. The kids get gifts from the grandparents. And somehow, we've made a dance party the grand finale of our family Christmas. It's always a BLAST! Oh - and we order food from a restaurant, so no one has to stress out about making food and everyone just gets to enjoy each others company!

      Sarah Dahl - the gift stealing game is a scream and mixes it up when people don’t know each other well at parties. We usually bring consumables - last year my mom stole a jar of Dijon mustard from me! Have a wonderful holiday season.

    We played some of your suggested games this year at Christmas (2019) and my family LOVED it!! I also picked up Dollar Tree 48 piece puzzles and two at a time, people raced to complete them. I gave points for everyone - ie: 5 points for the best time, 4 points for the next best time, etc. Those who didn't want to complete puzzles, raced to put together dollar tree legos toys. We added up points at the end of all games and I had dollar tree prizes for everyone! Grand prize winner got a Starbucks gift card.....so much fun!

    I've been thinking of experiences gifts for my sister and her family. This video came up at the perfect time. I've collected the game supplies, which I will put in a box along with candy and popcorn. I will also include the link to this video, and they can have a wonderful family night. Thanks, Dawn, for sharing!

    Thank you for explaining these fun ideas! I’m leaving this hint for myself because even though I have written this down in multiple places
I always forget or can’t find the paper and then I search for this section of this video every year. 😅 Maybe I will remember that I left myself a comment đŸ€Ł
    Jingle Bell Game:
    5 boxes
    42 bells: 2, 4, 8, 12, 16
    Take a pic of the box order to use as your key.
    Time each person to see who can do it the fastest.
    Have fun! đŸ˜đŸ€¶đŸŽ„

    I was gnna say the partner giftwrap would be fun blindfolded one person guides their teammate that is blindfolded but the cutting part might be hard so maybe have the piece cut to size beforehand to eliminate the need for scissors from the game

    @nancylisaswihart2617 Pƙed 5 lety +5

    Thank you so much. It really wasn't that hard to jot down notes lol. Just an added note we've always been Minimalist about our Christmas focusing on Christ's birth and life, but not very good at adding in fun instead of the presents. These games will add some fun!! Like you our children receive plenty from others. This year as three of our oldest are now married, two with new babies and the other expecting their first and six still in our home, we've decided to have a make it and take it craft for the gals instead of a gift exchange and the guys will have a project as well. That way we get to spend time together doing something creative, productive and memorable. I'm hoping it goes well and what we (the gals) produce is actually cute!😁 We're making decorative pillows made of drop cloth which my center child (as she prefers to be called) so kindly sewed together for me. They will have the choice of painting words like Joy to the World or ironing on some kind of design like fir trees made of plaid using Wonder Under. Anyway just thought you might like to hear about our plans. I've so enjoyed your videos and tips. I'm having so much fun unloading unused items that are making my life noisy.đŸ€—. Everyone likes the less cluttered clean crisp look. May you have a blessed Christ filled holiday season.
    Blessings, NancyLisa 😊

    We play fishbowl with family on Christmas or New Years. Everyone writes down a charade - usually Christmas themed (I.e. reindeer, elf, frosty the Snowman) - and we all put them in a bowl. Divide into 2 teams. Get as many clues guessed in one minute.
    Then the next teams turn. Until all the clues are guessed. Keep your score and then put them back in the bowl for the next round.
    Round 1- describe the word and have your team guess
    Round 2 - act them out/charades
    Round 3 - you only get to give a one word clue!
    Round 4 (optional) - you get one pose!
    This is super fun and since you hear the same words in the next rounds it makes for great and creative ways to get your team to guess. So many laughs!
