The children form a square, each one holding the sides of an old tablecloth or piece of sheeting.
In the center of this is placed a pile of nuts, candies, raisins, fruits, and all sorts of goodies.

Another amusement is playing "The Night before Christmas" like "Musical Chairs".
Give each child the name of some part of Santa Claus' outfit, the sleigh, the reindeer, etc.

Play like "Simon Says" but replace the phrase "Simon Says" with "Santa Says."
For instance, leader Elf says: 'Santa says, "Put your hands on your head."'

While the children are waiting on Christmas for their presents, or dinner, or whenever the time seems to drag, suggest that each one think up the best game he knows.
Give each child a pencil and a card on which the game and the name of the child who thought of it are written.

Suspend a large Christmas wreath in a doorway at a convenient height from the floor.

Suspend a large bunch of mistletoe from one of the chandeliers.
The children, one at a time, stand under the mistletoe, and guess how many berries there are on it.

A small tree is placed on a table. The candles are lighted.
Blindfold the players, one at a time, turn around three times, and allow each to take five steps toward the tree.

A pretty idea for concealing Christmas presents for the children is to make a lot of snowballs out of white tissue paper and cotton batting, and concerting the gifts inside.
Pile all these snowballs under the tree, and when the time comes for distributing them, the mother, or some older person tosses them, one at a time, to the children, who are standing at distance eagerly waiting for them.
