If you plan on exchanging gifts this will work...
Everyone buys unisex gifts within a price range. Then put them all together on a table. Each person draws a number (however many gifts) and then whoever has # 1 goes first and chooses a gift. They unwrap it and everyone see what it is. Whoever has # 2 then chooses whether they want # 1's gift or goes for a different wrapped present. Say # 2 chooses to unwrap a gift. Then # 3 chooses between # 1 or # 2's gifts, or an unwrapped gift. Say # 3 decided to pick # 1's gift and then # 1 gets to choose # 2 # 3 or an unwrapped gift. Then each gift can be taken from another for a total of 3 times before it is "retired".
Everyone has fun "stealing" the "best" gifts.

If you search for bowtie christmas party games on google or yahoo you should get to a bowtieproducts site that will give you 4 new original games that will help make your nite fun.
For parties like this they work because they give folks something to do while they get warmed up to each other. if they want to talk, they can talk, but if conversation lags games like these take up the awkward silences that many of us dread.
Several of these games have people start singing the songs to get to the answers and that is always a good thing.
Whats nice is that people don't all have to be in it to enjoy it. Some can just help out if asked or enjoy the groaning at the answers.
If links work in the answer blocks here's the link

there is also some party giving advice you may enjoy.
My wife and I made up the puzzles and many people really enjoy them.
I hope they work out well for you

Hello, I find playing a game that everyone can be in is the best way, of course. We at the hospital play a game all most every year. Get baby or kid pics of every one that works there, then place them all on a board.Number them. Then make a paper with everyones names that has a pic of the board. Try to have everyone match the pic with the numbers. It sounds lame, but can be very fun.

There are some neat versions of a a game called "MR AND MRS WRIGHT," on the internet. A few years ago we played it and modified our own story.
You take some lunch bags or boxes and put a small gift in each bag or box. (It could even be a battery, paper clips, toilet papper, pennies or whatever.)
Every one is instructed to get into a circle. Then each person is handed a sack or box. Then A person that is not in the circle reads the MR AND MRS WRIGHT STORY. Each time they hear a word that is right, wright then the pass the gift to the person on their right. When they hear the word left. Then they pass it to the person on the left of them. When the story is over they will end up with a different package then when you started out. It is fun to get a surprise gift to keep.
One day Mr and Mrs. Wright jumped right out of bed. They decided that today is the last day left to buy gifts for their three children. Sally Wright, Susan Wright and Sammy Wright. Mr Wright started to put on his clothes. He put his left shoe on his right foot and his right shoe on his left foot.................
You can keep making up your own story. It is fun. Every one will listening to the story.

-office bingo....make your own cards with funny sayings and objects from around your office...
-we did scavenger hunt for poker chips...blue = a piece of candy, red= gift cards, white=money gold=big prize..etc (you get the idea)....then put them all over the place crazy places, in the chips, around the lights, anywhere!
-office 20 questions, fill in the blanks on pre-made sheets on the tables or given out at the door, most correct answers wins!
Fa, La, La! Have fun!

the alphabet song game but add a different twist as there may be some who can't have alcohol. what we did was have everyone bring a " white elephant gift " for a prize. when someone lost they chose a gift and handed it to another player until all the gifts were distributed.

At my work, everyone brought in their baby pics and you had to guess who they were. It was actually quite fun.
