Christmas Eve Game #3
If you are looking for a little physical activity, then this Christmas Eve game is for you. How about a exciting game of musical chairs using your favorite Christmas music? This Christmas Eve game can be particularly funny if you use upbeat and well-known classical Christmas music. It's best to use Christmas songs that everyone knows and require they sing along and dance while they scurry around the chairs. This can get rather hilarious because inevitably there is at least one person who gets so caught up in the music and dancing they don't realize the music has stopped. This game is played like any traditional game of musical chairs with the loser being the one who doesn't get a chair when the music stops. If you don't know what I'm talking about then just watch "Barney", you know, the purple dinosaur? :-)

Christmas Eve Game #2
Christmas Eve Game #2
If you plan on having a large gathering of friends and family on Christmas Eve, you might try playing a circle Christmas Eve game. Have all participants form a circle. The first person in the circle (you choose who goes first) will start with, "in my Christmas stocking there is an apple" and the next person in the circle will add, "in my Christmas stocking there is an apple and a book". Each person will continue on, remembering the previous items and the adding one of their own items to the list, making sure they are all in alphabetical order. If you miss an item, you're out of the game. The winner of the circle game is the last person who successfully remembers all the stocking items over and over again each time they have to recite the items and add to the list. This Christmas Eve game can get rather comical.

Games for Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve Game #1
For this first Christmas Eve game you will create a hunt with clues, so the children have to follow the clues to find their hidden Christmas gifts. For example, instead of putting their Christmas presents under the tree, you want to hide them somewhere else. Now make clues that will lead the children to where their Christmas presents are hidden. For this Christmas Eve game, you can use anything to write your clues on. You could use some unused Christmas cards in their envelopes that you had extras of, or you might try cutting out Christmas tree shapes for this, or you might want to use ornaments, but for safety reasons, avoid using the delicate glass ones because of they can break easily.
Once you select your method of delivery, write a clue on each of your items and leave those around the house for the seekers to find. You start this Christmas Eve game by handing each child the first clue. For example, the clue might say, "you sleep here every night" and hopefully the children will run to their beds. Under their pillow you have placed another clue that might say, "mom pours this on your cereal" and the children head to the refrigerator, where they find another clue on the milk carton. The last clue will lead them to their Christmas gift or gifts, depending on whether or not your clues lead to each individual gift or all of them. You can make it extra fun by stashing the Christmas gift under the tree. Your children won't expect that at all! This Christmas Eve game is great for adults too.

Etiquette Mistakes at the Company Holiday Party:
Excessive Eating:
Party Scenario: Excess grease leftover from a recent spicy chicken wing partially on the napkin stuffed in your pocket - next to the rolled up cocktail meatball napkin - and partially on your free hand (the other hand is wet from a drink). One of the bosses walks up to you, ready to be greeted.
People who attend events understand that food and beverage will be part of the experience. But it's important to be considerate of how others will approach you, and that includes etiquette basics, such as maintaining clean hands and avoiding a mouth full of passed canopies.
Holiday Party Eating Tips:
Do not walk around with multiple hors d'oeuvres.
Do not double dip or return buffet food.
Properly discard napkins, toothpicks, etc.

Holiday Party Tips
Excessive Drinking.

Party Scenario: A crowded room full of well-dressed people, the uncounted number of drink in your hand, you’re laughing, the contents of the glass begin splashing, and you continue laughing.
This is probably the most common mistake that some employees and managers make during the year end holiday celebration. While many organizations are still offering a full bar, others have begun limiting how much alcohol will be served at the event. Regardless of the company’s decision, it highlights that nobody should over-consume.
Holiday Party Drinking Tips:
Limit drinks with alcohol to a maximum of two.
Avoid mixing drinks.
Drink coffee, tea, soft drinks and water.
