Although have been a while since the request of help for ideas was posted, I decided to write my idea anyways.
If you want to have like a "Christmas Party", but not calling it like that, of course, you can play with the students the "White Elephant" (gift exchange)in a Hat's Day, Ugly looking wardrobe Day, Children Around the World Party...
What you do? Ask the students to bring a nice well-decorated box or bag, a really nice one. The content of the bag should be something simple but useful (like a colorful pencil, a pencil holder, a little notebook, etc.). Sit all the kids behind their own "present" and ask who would like to begin saying which box they think they like the best. Once that is done, the student get that box that was described and the other student need to tell his choice. Each student need to participate a maximum of three times and the last "present" in their hands will be theirs.
With this activity I had the pleasure to have students that are "not allowed" to participate giving presents because of their religion.
