Ornament Exchange Party (Day 16)

I always think that you should celebrate the holidays with a fun party that your guests will enjoy and remember.  Having a Christmas ornament exchange party allows your guests the opportunity to give as well as receive a gift.  You probably have heard of an ornament exchange party however, I am adding a twist.

Ask all your guest to bring a wrapped ornament.  If you want to set a price limit you can.  As your guests start to arrive their ornament is numbered and a random number is given to the guest.  When its time for the exchange the guest with the #1 chooses the gift that is labeled #1 and opens it immediately; the guest with the #2 can choose the ornament labeled #2 or they can steal the first ornament forcing that person to choose another ornament.  This sequence goes on until everyone has an ornament.

If you choose you can set a limit as to the number of times a gift exchanges hands or you do not have to use the number system at all.  You can have your guest just put their ornaments under the tree; when the exchange begins everyone can choose an ornament making sure not to select their own.

Now, Let's Get Inspired!
