left right christmas game story printable
Anyone looking for a Christmas story for the pass-the-gift game wants three things: a text full of cues, a way to add the family names and a page that prints cleanly. You can have all three in a few taps.

The densest of the six.
One seat of displacement.
Everyone sits in a circle with a wrapped gift while one person reads a story, passing the gift every time they hear right or left. On right the gift goes to the person on the right; on left it goes to the person on the left. When the story ends, everyone unwraps the gift in their hands. The more cues in the story, the more the gifts travel.
In this tool: pick the family Christmas story, set the length and tap Print. The sheet comes out with the title, the rule and the text, without the rest of the page. You can type up to 4 family names before printing.
The short version fits comfortably on one page, and the long one takes one or two letter-size pages at 13 points. To save paper, choose the medium with 37 cues or the short with 21.
The tool writes no address on the sheet. If one appears, the browser added it: turn off Headers and footers in the print dialog and the sheet prints with just the story and the final count line.
Yes, from 3 to 30 players. With a net of +1, everyone ends up with the neighbor gift whatever the group size. The warning that gifts return to their owners only shows up for stories whose net is a multiple of the player count.
At the end, everyone holds the gift from the person 1 seat to the left.
When printing, turn off Headers and footers in the print dialog.
On Christmas Eve, Granny Joan's house glowed with lights, one string on the left window and another on the right window. Uncle Ben showed up first, came in through the door on the right and hung their coat on the hook on the left. Little Max ran down the hall in a sock on the left foot and a slipper on the right foot, because they got dressed in a hurry. Aunt Dee carried in the potato dish and could not decide whether it belonged to the left of the turkey or to the right of the beans. In the end the potatoes went right, the beans went left, and the turkey stayed proudly in the middle.
At midnight Granny Joan clapped twice and sent everyone to the living room, the grown-ups to the right of the tree and the kids to the left. Under the tree sat a big gift on the left, a small gift on the right and one wrapped in a hurry in the back. Uncle Ben ran their right hand over the bow, then their left, and announced that the box felt exactly like a pair of socks. That was when Little Max shouted that the gift on the right was for a cousin and the one on the left was for an aunt.
Aunt Dee opened the first one with their right hand while holding their cocoa in their left, and made the face of a person who just got socks. The socks were green on the right foot and red on the left foot, and nobody could tell if it was fashion or a mistake. Granny Joan raised a finger, looked left, looked right and swore the gift in the middle was theirs, again. Uncle Ben leaned to the right, stretched their arm to the left and fished out a package that had slid under the sofa. On the left side of the table the cousins whispered; on the right side the uncles placed bets. Who would end up with the gift on the right? And who would get the one on the left? Nobody knew, and everybody pretended not to care.
Granny Joan laughed, crossed their right leg over their left and said the game only counts if everybody follows the story. Then Uncle Ben cleared their throat, hugged the gift with their right arm, then their left, and said real Christmas starts when you pass along what you hold.
And so, laughing, everyone traded gifts: one step to the left and one step to the right. When the clock struck one in the morning, each person held someone else's gift, and the very last pass went one step to the right.
Every whole word right or left counts (rights too), in any capitalization and in any sense. Alright, copyright and leftovers do not count; right-hand counts once.
