Then a snowball was thrown right at a crowd and it hit Santa right in the face. All of you need to leave now, right now! I said Right now I Say… ho ho hooooo! Everyone left the stadium, but they left with a burning hate for each other. And right before Christmas, it reached a fevered pitch. Each clan was going through their store of toys and weaponizing what they could. Spikes were put right into baseball bats.
Toy Nerf guns were modified to file nails right out of their barrels. It was obvious regardless of if you were on the left or right of the political spectrum. As the moon passed right over the North Pole, because it was winter and the sun had left for the season, the families gathered in the main square. They brandished their vicious modified toys and hurled insults back and forth.
On that Christmas Eve, right in the heart of the north pole, right where the spirit of Christmas was born and nurtured, Elftown was about to explode. And right before that fuse was lit, a small voice could be heard. Is that you holding a tennis racket with a spike right in the middle?
Riliburt, I love you! That is right. But you are from the Toe Clan and I am a lowly Leftover, our love is not right. At that point, every elf heart, in the left of every elf chest, skipped a beat. All of the anger stopped, just for a second, as they all contemplated love.
Then, each person holding a gift takes off one layer of wrapping paper. Play continues until the last layer of wrapping paper is taken off. Whoever is holding the unwrapped gift gets to keep it and is out of the game. A variation would be to switch passing directions each time the music starts again. This way the gifts would be going both ways around the circle. For each of these Christmas gift exchange games, guests need to bring a wrapped gift. You may want to have gift wrap on hand in case guests forget to wrap their presents before arriving.
You never know. When sending out your Christmas party invitations, be sure to mention that you will be hosting a Christmas gift exchange game. Our editable holiday invitations let you add any text that you need to tell your guests — including information on a gift exchange. Let guests know that they need to bring a gift to the party. And make sure that you set a budget for the gifts. Once guests arrive at the party, have a space to put the gifts. Either under the tree or on a table works well.

Since everyone has different tastes and interests, unlike a Secret Santa, gifts should be more on the neutral side. Think socks, things for the kitchen, candles, self care items or something fun. You can find some great Christmas gift exchange suggestions here to share with guests.
Depending on your guests, you might want to add a theme to make gift buying more fun. It can also help people focus on specific gift options. If you choose a gift giving theme, be sure that information is on the invitation as well. When choosing a Christmas gift exchange game for your party, consider your guests. The number and their ages can be important. A good rule of thumb is that the more complicated the gift exchange game, the fewer people should play.
A gift exchange game with a lot of rules can be hard to coordinate with a larger group. Also, consider the ages of your guests. Once they have a gift, they want to keep it. And maybe make it optional. Kids also sometimes have trouble following oral directions. Most kids can easily follow the starting and stopping of the music.

This post explains the game and provides a free gift exchange poem that directs the game! A few years ago we started a new tradition at our family Christmas party. In past years, it has started to becoming confusing and time consuming to have all the different cousins exchange gifts with each other every year.
We decided it was time to simplify. My sister in-law came up with a fabulous idea to play a gift exchange game instead of assigning or drawing out names for each kid.
Now it is incredibly simple.
