I need to organise a neighbourhood Christmas party

[sweetheart]

This year our street have decided to organise a secret santa for the kids gifts as there are lots of them now. We're going to have a kids party (which is mostly for the adults) so they can each get a gift. Anyone got any great ideas for this? Someone has asked if there will be games . The kids range in age from new born to 12 and there will be about 6 familes (approx 26 people in all)

where is it taking place - ie in someone's house? Maybe set one room up with DVDs. Does anyone have a karaoke player or playstation plus singstar - works well for mixed age groups, including adults. Really simple, traditional games like pass the parcel could work. "Pin the nose on Rudolph/Santa"? Oh, and ask the person who asked if there will be games what they had in mind??? Ideas shouldn't all be down to you!

it's at my house! Ekkkkk! It will be a bit of a squish, I'm hoping it will be nice enough that we might be able to use some outdoor space but if not we'll just have to make do. I've got pin the star on the xmas tree and am going to make up bags of reindeer food with the kids. I'm sure the older ones will slope off anyway.
