"Turkey Bingo" we usually play this at Thanksgiving.
Get a bunch of crazy prizes for people to win. Like a giant can of ketchup, bag of apples, etc.
You can even play for money, if you are so inclined.

1. Take turns naming what occupations must work during Christmas Day.
2. Take turns naming candy bars; past and present.
3. Setup a jigsaw puzzle table. Select one that depicts a Christmas scene. (It will be slow at first, but then the enthusiam will grow and grow.)
4. Riddle- the riddle - Marie: An old colonial Christmas Game. Simply describe an item in the room by size and color, and have people guess what you have described. "I am thinking an object smaller than a loaf of bread, and it is red." You can also add, when the person names an object near your object, you can say "You are getting warmer". .... This is especially great for small children and adults playing this game together. -Kids really get excited, and we are a little like kids at Christmas time.

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 mixers like this 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 conversatrion lags games like these take up the awkward silences that many of us dread.
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 groans of the answer section.
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

I heard of this game recently and Im going to try it.
First you wrap a gift with lots of wraping layers(perferably small) then put it in another box, repeat with lots of layered wraping. Until you get a big looking present. (do this before the party starts)
Next...
Then have everyone sit around it, you will need 2 dice.
Have the highest roller begin unwrapping, while the others take turns rolling. When someone else beats his roll then they take that persons place that is unwrapping (or double 6s wins)
It will be fast paced and a bit noisy. Sounds like a lot of fun!

My kids and I played a game one year where you write character names from movies or television shows on a stick-it note, and then everyone gets one stuck on their forehead. The trick is, you don't have a clue who you are because you can't see it, but everyone else in the room can, right? Then the people in the room take turns giving clues, so you can try to figure out who you are. It may sound lame, but it's fun for kids who can at least read names. Have fun!

pin the nose on rudolph
pin the nose on frosty the snowman
make up new reindeer names
try the dreidel game they use for hanukkah,
kids love winning candy and the game doesn't have to be
a religion thing. (not to mention the instrx to read the dreidel top are on the sides of the package)
for presents that you KNOW are not breakable, play a guessing game, little shake and then have each person guess something.

HIDE AND SEEK,
Then u can wrap a present and keep it in a bush or some secret place and ask the family members to find out where the present is by keeping the clues at different places,with one clue leading to another.u can really have a good fun.
