Activity ideas for a Family Christmas Party?
Previous I have had Santa come, but the kids are bigger. I am in Central Florida and am looking for an idea. I am hoping for someone/something to bring in. Kids are ages 4 - 12 (lots of them!) Thanks!

If there is a year round hockey arena nearby, go over there and get the ice shavings bring them home and have a snowball fight
DIRTY CHRISTMAS! My good Friend showed me this my kids love it.
*At the party have every one bring a cheep(set a limit like $5.00) wrapped gift
* when everyone is there, let everyone draw a number out of a hat (for the order you go in turns)
*person with number 1 goes first,to pick any present out of pool
they want,and open it
*second person gets to pick out of pool OR take the gift the the first person( if second person takes the first persons gift, the first person gets another gift from pool
*which continues on down the line
** object to game, you want to be last so you can pick from all the open gifts what you want.

I remember those days when Santa would come. So much fun. These days since there only a few little ones.....we just have a big gift exchange. The adults bring a 10 dollar gift, and then we put them out in the middle of the floor, everyone draws numbers, and you go one thru however many. Whoever gets 1 goes first, number 2 can get a different present and unwrap it or take number 1, number 3 gets a gift or takes one from someone else, but, if someone takes a gift from someone that person has to have another present, and you can only have the same gift 2 times. This always brings a log of laughs and some fun arguements. The parents just bring a little gift for the kids so they have something to open too.
