Games To Play
#1 The simple one: shake your presents! Not only can you shake them you can feel them, you can see them (through the wrapping paper), you can smell them, you can squeeze them, and best of all you can lick them!!!

#3 Find a piece of mistletoe... (very fun, you can scare people with it if your not in the mood to kiss!)
#4 Smash gingerbread houses.
#5 Dress up as the Grinch and scare little kids (or you can dress up as Santa and make them happy (not as preferred)

Non-listed Tips
#1 Run around outside yelling, Merry Christmas (or not; you could also say Mountain Goats!)
#2 Make Gingerbread Houses (or eat them, or throw them, or drown them... multiple uses for a Gingerbread house!
#3 Send flowers to people. Even though they are so ugly I would rather have a dead possum as decoration; it will touch their hearts, even if they throw them out the window. It is the thought that matters!
#4 Do Christmas crackers.
#5 Sit and think about how you can help the world using Christmas spirit, or how you can destroy it with Christmas spirit!
Funny Things for The Morbid Pleasure of Disturbed Maniacs(or me!)
#1 Slowly take away and hide every ornament on the tree in the middle of the night, no one will notice until on Christmas morning they will all be gone! On the first day of Christmas my true love put in the planter, a wooden snowflake from our tree.
#2 Don't put gifts under the tree, on Christmas morning everyone will think someone stole their presents.
#3 Take off the star at the top of the tree and replace it with a BUDDHA.
#4 Wrap everything in newspaper.
#5 Open all the presents before people wake up!
Remember! Have a very merry Christmas, but not a happy new year. Have a terrible new year.
