Left/Right Gift Game - Saint Nick's Nightmare

Oh no! It’s Christmas Eve and Santa is in trouble! Play along with this gift exchange game to see how it all turns out. For this game, have guests stand in a circle with gifts in hand. Read the funny story aloud making sure to emphasize the words “RIGHT” and “LEFT.”
