How to Organize an Ornament Exchange

Getting into the holiday spirit sometimes requires a little creativity. Celebrate Christmas by exchanging ornaments with friends and family. Read on to learn how to organize an ornament exchange.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Family and friends

1. Pick a date that you think most of your guest list will be free to attend.

2. Mail invitations to your guest list. Explain to them they can either buy a nice ornament or make one.

3. On the day of the party, after guests have mingled for a little bit, exchange ornaments.

4. In order to exchange ornaments, write the number of guests on individual pieces of paper. Fold the paper and put into a hat. Have every guest pick a number. The person with number one gets to pick the first ornament. The next person can then either pick the ornament number one picked or pick from the pile.

5. As the game goes on, people become closer by fighting over ornaments. After the last person has selected their ornament, continue mingling.
