Christmas Pinata

Large paper shopping bag
Wrapped candy
Newspaper
Red and green tissue paper
White glitter
Tape
Scissors
Glue
Stick, baseball bat or broom

Fill the shopping bag lightly with crumpled newspaper. Add the wrapped candy along with the newspaper. Close the bag and tape.

Cut tissue paper into 3-inch strips. Fringe the strips by cutting along the edge, being careful not to cut all the way through. Glue the strips around the bag. Start at the bottom or at one side, overlapping the tissue paper. Decorate the pinata to look like a Christmas ornament, Santa Claus, donkey or snowman.

Hang the pinata. Blindfold one person at a time, aim him or her in the direction of the pinata. Make sure that everyone is clear of the stick. Make sure that everyone stands clear so that they don't get hit. Make sure everyone shares the candy when the pinata is broken.
