It’s pretty easy to come up with something to bring to this party unless you’re one of the lucky few who’ve recieved only awesome Christmas gifts.
A gift exchange game such as the left right after Christmas game, or white elephant game can be played to exchange the gifts. You can also put numbers in a bowl and have guests draw. The guest who draws number 1 selects a gift first, and so on.
