Christmas Games For Adults That Are Silly, Quiet, Fun and More



Does your group look for any excuse to be silly? Why not choose a Christmas game that is based on being silly? Give each team a pair of pantyhose and eight balloons. When the game starts, the team blows up the balloons to stuff into the legs of the hose. To ensure the game is totally fair, the pantyhose should be queen size and the teams of equal number.

The game is finished when someone gets all the balloons in the legs of the pantyhose, puts on the stuffed "antlers" and sings the first verse of the holiday favorite, "Jingle Bells". When everyone finishes the game, take photos of all your friends wearing funny antlers made of balloons and pantyhose.

Adult Relay Christmas Games

Do your friends enjoy relay games? Why not make your own Santa beard? Put out two oversize bowls filled with cotton balls and a jar of petroleum jelly. Dab petroleum jelly on each team member's chin. The 2 teams should each have around 5 people. The first player in each line runs to one of the bowls to grab cotton balls and stick them to their greasy chins. When they get as many cotton balls as possible stuck on their chins, the players run to the next player to give them a turn.

When the entire team is wearing a Santa Beard, they are the winners. This is another holiday game that really begs you to take pictures so you can show them off for years to come. Keep water and towels handy to remove the petroleum jelly when the game and photo session is over.

Quiet Christmas Games For Small Groups

Are your friends a small, quiet group who prefer less demonstrative games? Why not pack up a bag for Santa? The game starts when you say, "I packed a bag for Santa Claus and put in some socks." The next player goes on to say, "I packed a bag for Santa Claus and put in some socks and books." As each player continues they includes all the listed items and add their own item. When you miss an item on the list, you are out of the game.

Child-Inspired Christmas Games For Adults

Do your friends love to relive their childhoods during Christmas? Why not give your guests a chance to do it at your Christmas party with a fun game that reminds them of a childhood favorite? Make your own Christmas scavenger hunt with search teams of 4 or so. Create lists of items for the teams to return with.

You can keep the search local at your house or within the neighborhood area. Include holiday items in the scavenger hunt such as a red stocking, a sprig of holly and a small wreath. If you decide to extend the scavenger hunt through town, it gets even more exciting. Have your guests purchase a box of holiday themed cereal or take a picture to prove they visited the local Christmas tree. Be creative and make the hunt action-packed. Everyone loves this Christmas game because it reminds them of childhood. It's a great way to socialize because as everyone works together they get to know each other better.

Adult Kiss Christmas Games

Who doesn't love chocolate and kisses? Is that why Hershey's Kisses are such as hit at Christmas? Break your group into two teams with two bowls of Hershey's Kisses on either side of the room. Give each team a set of really big gloves or mittens. The first person in line runs to the bowls and must unwrap and eat the a Kiss wearing bulky gloves. Once done, the player runs back to tag the next person and give them the gloves. When all team members are the first to enjoy their own Kiss, the group wins.

How Do I Hang an Outdoor Wreath on Windows


ItemTitle

Are the holidays coming up and you want to decorate your house? A festive holiday wreath can be just the thing to brighten up any home. There are so many different designs and the only thing that limits you is your own eye and where you want to put the wreath.

How Do I Hang an Outdoor Wreath on Windows

Holiday Wreath


Anyone can hang a holiday wreath on their front door. How about trying something a little bit different though? Maybe you're asking, "How do I hang an outdoor wreath on windows?" It's very simple to do and will add a little bit of pizazz to your holiday decorations. There are a couple options.


Holiday Wreath

How Do I Hang an Outdoor Wreath on Windows



The first thing you could do is go to your local home improvement store and buy some large suction cup type hanger hooks. They are normally located in the hardware section. Any store associate can point them out to you. Once you have your package of hangers all you have to do is:



How Do I Hang an Outdoor Wreath on Windows

- Open the package
- Remove a hanger
- Moisten the suction cup
- Stick it on the window where ever you want the wreath to hang.
- Hang the wreath from the hook
- Adjust the wreath for proper center and level

One word of caution though, if you have any sort of exterior film on your window be sure that the wreath won't scratch it. You don't want to take the wreath down after the holidays and find a big ugly scratch running down the window!

Another option would be just to use a hammer and nail. Before you break out the tools and start pounding away look for a good spot. You don't want to be swinging a hammer next to a pane of glass. One wrong move and you have a really expensive wreath! Instead how about hanging it from the window casing instead?

Hanging it from the window casing is a much safer alternative and still looks beautiful. In fact why not put down the hammer and simply get an eye hook with a screw type shank. Those are the hooks that look like a question mark. You won't have to worry about a slipped hammer then!

Simply center the eyehook in the window casing. Screw it in Hang the wreath from it. Adjust the wreath to proper level and center.

One other small concern when hanging a wreath on a window: be sure that the wreath isn't hanging somewhere that it will obstruct a hasty exit in the event of a fire. Your family's safety is so much more important than any holiday decoration. If you have a picture window hanging the wreath from it would be a better option than one that offers a path outside the home.

One of the interesting Christmas door decorating ideas that some people have tried is to make your front door look like it is a giant wrapped present. In order to do this, wrap the door up to the edge and fold the paper back under itself rather than wrapping around the edge. Use pieces of double stick tape to stick the paper onto your front door. You can use the same trick to put on large pieces of ribbon and then leave a big bow in the center. You may want to test the tape on your door to be sure it does not bother the paint.

For a twist on this idea, make a matching smaller door out of cardboard for the elves to use. Cover the cardboard with the same color that you covered your real door. Add a small wreath or ribbon to match your real door. Set it next to your real door and post a little note that says "Elves enter here!"

If you would like to try something different and you have someone artistic in your family, you can cover your door with Bristol board that shows a scene of what it looks like inside. When people walk up to the door, it will look like the door is already open and they will be greeted with a festive scene. You can make it look just like the front hall of your home only you can add Santa, some elves or whatever your imagination can come up with. If you use Bristol board instead of paper it is something that you could use again next Christmas.

There is nothing quite as traditional and charming as a beautiful wreath on your front door. That idea never goes out of style. Go to your craft store or browse a magazine for an idea that you enjoy. Whether you make it yourself or purchase a ready-made wreath, you can have a lot of fun. Invite a friend or neighbor to make a wreath with you. Instructions for making Christmas wreaths can be found online in blogs, forums and videos.

Those evergreen wreaths that you purchase at the craft store need to be "fluffed up" each year. Take a little time to perk up the evergreen sprigs. Add a beautiful bow for a simple but stunning wreath. Or decorate the entire wreath with ornaments or natural materials like berries, pine cones and grasses. Place the largest items on the wreath first and then fill in with the smaller items. You can use a hot glue gun or the wires on the wreath - wrapping each item very snugly.

Some other fun Christmas door decorating ideas include taking things from inside and using them outside. If you have extra stockings that you do not use any more, you can hang them from the door for something different than the traditional wreath. The same goes for old Christmas tree decorations or collections of bows from old Christmas presents.

Whenever it is that you choose for Christmas door decorating ideas this holiday season remember to have lighting on your porch. Extra lighting gives your porch a festive look and also makes it a little safer for guests. Enjoy the holidays without adding extra stress to your schedule. If you enjoy making decorations for your home and have set aside time to do that, then have a ball! Purchasing a beautiful wreath or other ornament for your door is fantastic as well. Enjoy the season!
