Christmas Caroling

Gather on the front lawn of your party venue and participate in singing Christmas carols for the neighborhood.  Have a hot chocolate stand to keep everyone warm.

Create Christmas Snow Scenes

If there's real snow outside, use it, along with figurines, artificial gingerbread houses, and whatever else you can think of to deck the front of your home with Christmas snow scenes.  If you don't have real snow on hand, the artificial stuff will work too.

Make up a Christmas Story

Go around the room from person to person, and make up your own Christmas story.  The first person will start will a few lines of the story, and the next person will add on, and continue down the line.  Make it interesting by letting the adults tell the story, while the kids act it out.
