In my bank 1/4 of the people wanted to particpate in the gift exchange so we canceled it. I still want to do something fun for the holidays. Does anyone know of any type or game or something fun that I can do to bring some holiday spirit. For example, leave little secret santa notes or gift. HELP. Everyone here is sooooo boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could be Santa from Mr. Robinson's neighborhood and steal all of the toys/trinkets people have on their desks!

Maybe people would be more inclined to participate in a White Elephant exchange...

Basically, everyone who wants to participates brings a tacky/ugly/gag gift. Then you open them playing "Dirty Santa". (Draw numbers for gift selection order. Person one opens gift. Person two can steal person one's gift, or opens another. If gift one is stolen, person one opens again. Person three can steal either gift or open a new one. Continue until all gifts have been opened.)

Our family had a travelling Big-mouth Billy Bass. He wears a santa hat and sings Christmas carols. He's a yearly staple at our exchange. It's really pretty amusing to see what kind of junk everyone comes up with! Free bobble-head doll from a major leagus baseball game, yes, I think it's the perfect gift! smile

Our bank is doing a Secret Santa. Four days leading up to Christmas, one gift per day, maximum of $15 for the week.

We're bringing new unwrapped gifts from our childhood. We're having a small in-houe branch party. We'll laugh at each others' toys and then donate them to Toys For Tots. 1st year for this, so we'll see how it goes.

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line
You could adopt a family thru your county's department of family and children services and everyone purchase or contribute to the purchase of a gift for that family. Then just have a party for the staff.
