The Rightly Clan were on the left side, but they wanted the right side. The only thing they had going for them was that their Reindeer Game seats were right on the track on the right side of the finish line. So they were used to not being treated right. They lived right next to the Santa Express train tracks, but on the wrong side. Now the members of the Leftover Clan were used to being left out of things. It started at the last reindeer games when the Rightly Clan had decided to take the seats that belonged to the Leftover Clan. No one really knew who was right and who was wrong, but everyone was stuck right in the middle of the conflict, and many felt they were left with no option other than violence. The problem was that there was a war of sorts going on between the elf Clans. Specifically, the Toe clan and the Sweet clan were furious with each other. There was a tension in the town that left on its own, might not just tear apart the community, if left on its own it might destroy Christmas itself. But right under the surface things were not right. Picturesque houses on the right and left side of the main street, and a giant Christmas tree right in the middle of town. On the outside, it looked like the front of a Christmas card. Way up on near the North Pole, just to the left of Santa’s workshop and right down the road from the Reindeer farms there sits a little village called Elftown. – Film Noir Christmas (2011) Trouble in Elftown You can find previous years stories here: You should pause a bit at each LEFT/RIGHT to give people a chance to pass. Every time the world RIGHT is read, everyone passes the package they have to their right. Someone with a strong voice reads the story and every time the word LEFT is read, everyone passes the package they have to the left.

That made it kind of obvious that we should make the story Elf Family-related as well.Įveryone gets their gift and forms a big circle in the middle of the room. This year’s Christmas party involved sorting employees into Elf Families for some games we played.

When we ran out of stories on the internet, we started writing our own, usually in some sort of over-the-top style. At some point, we downloaded a right-left gift exchange story from the internet and it was a big hit. For our Christmas parties at PADT, we generally have over 40 employees so a traditional secret Santa gift exchange takes too long.
