Why it works as a party game

If you asked people to wear the sweater, you owe them a Christmas party game that uses it.

How to play

  1. Announce categories at the door.
  2. Each player walks ten seconds.
  3. Vote by ballot. No self-votes.
  4. Award candy canes. Then play something else.

Hosting tips

  • Handmade and store-bought can split if the room is mixed.
  • Lights on sweaters need a battery-safe rule.
  • Do not require a speech.
