A game full of fun and excitement is "Holly Wreath Toss." Suspended in the doorway is a large holly wreath cut from green cardboard. The players, one at a time, are given a small ball of yarn or paper which they are told to throw through the holly wreath. Each player is allowed three throws; and if he or she succeeds the first time, they score fifteen points; the second time, 10 points; and the third time, five points. The player who has the highest. score wins. Depending upon the ages of the players, hang the wreath higher to increase the level of difficulty.
"Filling the Stockings" is a pleasant game and easy to play. The children are divided into two teams. At one end of the room are a bag of candies and a butter knife for each team, and at the other end of the room are two large stockings, one for each team. To start the game, the leader of each side picks up his butter knife, puts on as many candies as it will hold, and races to the goal at the opposite end of the room where he drops them into his team's stocking. Then he returns and gives the butter knife to the next player on his team to carries on the race in a similar manner. After every member of the team has opportunity to join in the race, the candies inside of each stocking are counted. The team with the most candy wins the race. If the team members drop candy during the race, this can not be included inside of their stockings.
"Blowing Out the Christmas Candle" is a jolly game and one that furnishes much amusement for a party. A Christmas candle, lighted, is placed on a sturdy table at it's center. The players are blindfolded one at a time and spun around three times before they must try to make their way to the table and blow out the candle with only one breath. The first person to successfully blow out the flame is the winner of this contest.
