Christmas party

        This weekend I am hosting a Christmas party.  Four of my friends are coming over and we are going to do some Christmas themed games.  I recently went to a Christmas dinner party for my volleyball team and we played a really fun game called "the saran wrap ball game" which we are going to do at the party along with another game.  
        The Saran wrap ball game is exactly what it sounds like.  You start with a ball of saran wrap with little gifts spread out in the different layers.  Everybody sits in a circle and you pick someone to go first; they get the saran wrap ball.  The parson to the right of the person with the saran wrap ball gets two dice.  When someone says go, the person with the saran wrap ball starts to unwrap it and anything that falls out during their is theirs. The person to the right of the person with the saran wrap ball is trying to roll doubles to stop the person from un wrapping the saran wrap ball.  Once they roll doubles, the saran wrap ball and the dice get passed to the left and the person who was unwrapping is now trying to roll doubles.   Once all of the saran wrap is gone, the game is over.

        We are also going to do Christmas bingo.  Christmas bingo is basically the same as bingo but the board does not have numbers; it has Christmas pictures like a tree or Santa.  Also we will be covering the board with red and green m&ms.  The prizes will be a box of candy or some other small prize.

Secret Santa

        This my friends and I are doing secret santa.  Secret santa is a type of gift exchange.  To start it off everybody taking part in the secret santa pulls a name out of a hat and has to buy a gift for that person.  My friends and I decided to put a $15 price limit so that nobody spends a ridiculous amount of money on the gifts.  I pulled out someone's name so for the rest of this post I will call them "person".  I know that this person's favorite candy is reese's so I am going to buy her a bag of mini reese's and a starbucks gift card.  Last year I got my person a couple things from bath and body works and a candy bar.  Last year a couple of the people told each other who they had so the secret santa surprise was kind of ruined but we still gave each other our gifts and had fun!

Advent Calendars

       My family has a tradition for the month of December.  My brother and I each do an advent calendar.  Advent calendars are used to count down the days before Christmas.  My advent calendar used to be in the shape of a tree; my brothers was a basic one as show.  Every day you open a door and there is a little treat like a dollar or a piece of chocolate.  My mom would sometimes have to put a note that says  "find me" and we had to go find the treat around the house.  This year my mom got all 25 gifts and she wrapped them all.  My mom put them in a basket and every day we get to open a mini present.
