Every year I get together with my family for Christmas dinner. It used to be sooo much fun when we were little but it has lost its lustre. How can I make it more memorable and exciting? Any suggestions would be great!

A Chocolate Fondue Fountain.
A Chistmas "Sing-along" Movie:
The Wizard of Oz.
How a Grinch Stole Christmas
Nightmare before Christmas (if you have a more interesting family)
A theme.
Make a snow family of yourselves. Then take a picture for next years cards.
White Elephant Present Game...
Play charades, pictionary, or cranium...
Go Caroling,
If you are religious, read from the Bible and have a short prayer.
If not, have a family elder read "It was the night before Christmas" if there are children, or children at heart.
Spend Christmas somewhere exotic, might be too late.

My family loves to play the white elephant give exchange. I'm sure you know what a white elephant gift is, something from your house that you wrap up and bring to the party. Don't put who it is from on the gifts. Everyone who brought a gift then draws a number from 1-how ever many gifts there are from a bag. Person with #1 goes and gets a gift from the tree and opens it. Then person with #2 can either "steal" #1s gift or go pick a new one. My family has a blast with this. It's so much fun when a lot of people join in. Last year the "game" went on for an hour or more. We all have fun "stealing" the same few gifts back and forth.

A lot of different alkihalls! Watch The Christmas Story, hit a pinata, buy a PS3 and play a huge online game of Stuck Behind The Bus. GOOD TIMES! :-D

The sparkle and shine is gone because you have grown.
If you have family that you don't see often, let them know how much they mean to you...
Spend as much time as you can with the ones you love.
The magic returns when you have small children that are young enough to feel the magic.

it will never be as fun as it was when you were little--However, when you have children, it is almost as fun, because you relive the excitement of it all thru them. Life is always better thru the eyes of a child.

Its Jesus' birthday so give him a present. Pray to him and praise him for about an hour.
