Christmas Gift Exchange Games

We have a houseful of cousins here today for a sleepover, so this is a quick little post. 


We have a local lifestyle show here in Utah- Studio 5.  I used to watch it every day, but my life is a bit more busy these days, so I don't get to see it as often as I'd like.  Several years ago I saw a cute idea from Alisa Bangerter (she's full of amazing ideas!).  She put together a whole list of ideas for Christmas gift exchange games.  After seeing her idea, I decided our family needed to give it a try.  We now do it every year.  Everyone brings a $5 gift for the game.  We try to make the gifts very gender neutral, because in some of the games you never know which gift you might end up with. 

 My boys look forward to the game as much as they do Santa coming.  They remember the games every year, and get so excited to see which one Aunt Miss is going to do this year!  
Go take a look at Alisa's list.  There's over 20 game ideas.  You can do the same game every year, or choose a new one each year (that's what we do).  I promise it will quickly become a new, favorite holiday tradition!  
Happy Friday!

Thank you dry icons for the cute graphic!

  1. I really like these exchange ideas! I'm looking fro ideas for work. Last year we did a five days of giving exchange. It was done as secret santa's, I had a third party match pairs up and notify everyone of their "elf" It was then Santa's Job to for 5 days make sure their "elf" on designated days had their workspace decorated,given an ornament (used to decorate the department tree), received a special baked good (preferably homemade), given a homemade greeting card, and on the final day given a re-gift. It was left up to the Santa's as to whether they wanted to reveal themselves.
    Participation was reluctant at first, but in the end everyone was excited to find a new treat each day.

    1. Si ý này chứa đựng hàm ý chân chính.

      U quang trong mắt Hồng Điệp sáng bừng lên. Bỗng nhiên cô ta điểm vào ấn đường một đóa hoa hồng lập tức xuất hiện, chỉ có điều đóa hoa lúc này không còn màu hồng nữa, mà biến thành màu đen.

      Bên trên đóa hoa hồng màu đen này là hai nhụy hoa, lúc này không hề do dự cô ta làm cho tất cả những cánh hoa bung ra, chúng cùng với Thiên Địa tứ linh hợp lại làm một, hình thành một cơn lốc cực kỳ hung dữ.

      Cùng lúc đó ở ấn đường của Hồng Điệp đột nhiên phóng ra một luồng khói nhẹ, luồng khói này vừa xuất hiện lập tức hóa thành một nam tử anh tuấn uy vũ. Toàn thân hắn vừa động liền tiến vào trong cơn lốc trong những âm thanh ầm ầm kết hợp làm một với nam tử anh tuấn uy vũ.

      Trong những âm thanh ầm ầm đó bỗng nhiên hóa ra một con yêu vật có một sừng trên đầu, con yêu vật này phát ra những tiếng gầm gào.

  3. Naturally, is just not important to become law enforcement officials or maybe a jewellry to take pleasure from these types of gun games. You do not even need to find out the way to use a marker whatsoever. Inside a capturing online game enjoyed on the internet, you already are the mastered marker man. A person have to direct ones images to the targeted so that you can gain.

  5. تتكبد الكثير من الأحياء والقرى بمدينة العاصمة السعودية الرياض من الكثير من المشكلات في الاستبدال الصحي ، ويعود الداعِي في هذا هو عدم وصول مشاريع الاستبدال الصحي لهذه الأماكن بالشكل الذي يعاون على تصريف المجاري على نحو صحي وسليم، الشأن الذي جعل معظم الأهالى في الرياض عاصمة المملكة العربية السعودية يعتمدون على استعمال البيارات في تصريف المياه والمخلفات السائلة .
