If Santa Claus can bring in the grab0bag and
preside over it, so much the better, but if Santa is impossible
it is just as much fun for guests to be invited in the line
and march through the hall past the bag. Each one is given just
one “feel,” and must take the gift his hand touches
first.
If the gifts are to be inexpensive let them be as funny as possible.
Have them include those fearful spiders, long jointed snakes,
and ten cent alligators that bite. Or the gifts may be noisy,
like tin horns, auto-mobile honkers, and clappers, and after
all the guests have has a “grab,” ask them to lint
up for a triumphal procession in which they may work their instruments
to their hearts’ content-for about two minutes. The neighbors
will send a complaint if it continues longer that that! |
