This first one isn't "exactly" Christmassy - but if you play with it a bit, maybe change the "occasions" to people on a gift list or something, it might work... (hope you like em!)

GIFTS FOR ALL OCCASIONS

Have guests list 10 gift giving occasions. After they have completed their list, call off occasions and have guest check off if they have it listed. First one to complete their list wins. After the game, mention that you are going to show a line of merchandise that has gifts for ALL of these occasions and ALL are affordably priced or FREE by holding a party!

*Note: Start with the least thought of, with the most common to be read last.


SNOWMAN GAME

Have guests follow these directions:

Draw a circle the size of a half dollar in the middle of your paper

Now you're drawing Frosty the Snowman, so you need to make one larger and one smaller circle to complete the body.

Put two eyes on his head

Give him two arms

Give him a carrot nose

He needs a broom to hold

Go back to his face and give him a big smile

He needs buttons down the front give him 3

Finish by putting a hat on his head and a pipe in his mouth

Score points as follows:

5 points if all 3 circles touch each other
5 points if his broom touches anywhere on either arm
5 points for each eye in the smallest circle
5 points if the smile touches the small circle anywhere
5 points for each button in the middle circle
5 points if the hat touches his head anywhere
5 points if the pipe touches his mouth


SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

Give each guest a sheet of paper and pencil. Ask them to sketch Santa Claus while following your step-by-step instructions. Sounds easy? It is, but there's one little catch - they must close their eyes while they do it!

Draw a circle (his body)

Draw a smaller circle (his head)

Draw his left leg

Draw his right arm

Draw his nose on the head  

Draw his boot on the left leg

Draw his right leg

Draw his eyes  

Draw the sack beside Santa

Draw his beard

Draw his boot on the right leg

Draw the left arm

Draw a present in the sack

Draw gloves on his hands

Draw a hat on his head


Score points as follows:

10 for legs in right place;
15 for nose on the head;
20 for boots on the legs;
25 for eyes on head;
30 for the sack;
35 for gloves on hands;
40 for the present in the sack;
40 for both arms attached;
50 for the beard on his face;
75 for the hat in the proper place.
Total the points and award a gift to the guest with the highest score!

HOW MANY CAN YOU FIND?

Have guests look around the room and see how many items they can find that begin with the letters: C H R I S T M A S. The first one with an item named for every letter wins.


NAME THE REINDEER

Have guests list the names of all nine reindeer. Make it harder by having them listed in alphabetical order:

Blitzon, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Donner, Prancer, Rudolph, Vixen

*Tiebreaker: Who sang the original Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer? (Gene Autry)


HOLIDAY MATCH

Have guests write six items associated with Christmas. After everyone has the items listed, have a guest start the game by naming one of her items. Each guest who has that item on their list has to cross it off. The next guest calls an items from her list, and play continues around the room until the first guest has all her items crossed off and is the winner of the game


HOLIDAY NAME GAME

Guests must think of a word related to Christmas that starts with the first letter of her name; Example: Mary Mistletoe, Susie Snowflake, etc. The next guest must repeat the names before her and add her name last. Go around the room so that the last guest will be the one to list all the preceding names and words. If a guest misses a name, they are eliminated. The last person standing is the winner. This is also a good way to learn guest names.


TONGUE TWISTER

Create tongue twisters using names and information about you products.

Here are some Christmas ones.

Seven Santas sang silly songs.
Santa's sleigh slides on slick snow.
Bobby brings bright bells.
Running reindeer romp 'round red wreaths.
Tiny Timmy trims the tall tree with tinsel.
Chilly chipper children cheerfully chant.

THE FROSTY FAMILY

Once upon a time in Snowman Land there lived a lonely snowman. One day as he LEFT for work, he saw a cute snow lady that had moved in RIGHT next door. After work that day, he determined to meet that snow lady RIGHT away.

RIGHT off the bat, they fell in love. After a short engagement, they were married and LEFT, that's RIGHT, they LEFT on their honeymoon RIGHT away (to the North Pole of course).

Well, by the time they returned they had a bouncing little snow baby. At that time, Mama Frosty, decided it was time she LEFT her high stress job in the city and become a House of Lloyd consultant. She could work RIGHT from home and she started making money RIGHT away and soon learned it was a perfect business for a young mother.

The only thing that worried her was hearing that so many of the consultants earn trips to Hawaii and that idea LEFT her melting a little. RIGHT then she decided to earn her trips to Hawaii or China or Switzerland or other places that LEFT her feeling more solid!

House of Lloyd could be RIGHT for you, if you need flexibility in your life. Mama had much more time for her snow kids and they were always glad she was RIGHT there whenever they had one of their big snow ball fights. RIGHT off the bat, someone would get hit RIGHT in the eye or RIGHT in the nose or the sneaky little guy would get them RIGHT down the back. They always needed Mama to remind them that snow kids don't get to hurt from the snowballs, so that LEFT them feeling much better.

Special times are always RIGHT around the corner in Snowman Land. They Celebrate Life's Most Cherished Moments whenever they can, they are RIGHT there if you take the time to notice. So RIGHT now celebrate with us as we enjoy more than 30 years of House of Lloyd and Cherished Moments.

So, you on my RIGHT and you on my LEFT (I am not sure I said LEFT as often as I did RIGHT so here: LEFT, LEFT, LEFT...that's RIGHT) I have a party to do RIGHT now...so let's do a LEFT, LEFT, LEFT... RIGHT, that's good.

And now lets go straight to the lucky person who gets to keep our special snowball gift and watch them open it RIGHT away.

(NB: this last game needs to be amended to reflect your own PP...)

I use this for xmas and Easter is Eggciting! (with eggs instead) All you do is carefully remove the prizes that are in a set of crackers, and replace with the hats and your piece of paper. One piece of paper has a prize valued at $60, Three have party bookings, and the rest have lucky dip prizes. Every body gets a cracker, and if they choose to pop it they must accept what they get! It has really helped boost bookings for Jan. With the easter eggs you get a carton of small hollow eggs wrtie on a small piece of paper and then wrap in tin foil (I dont remove original foil) The same rules apply!!
