Dirty Santa rules, kept simple
This is the living-room game: wrapped gifts, a drawn order, and steals until a gift freezes. It is not a movie night and not a costume. #1 opens first. The last number chooses last. Two steals keeps a big Southern porch party from running past dessert.
Why share the numbers
A reload used to wipe the order on a lot of generators. The share link keeps the draw, the event name, and the time, so the group chat can see that nobody rearranged it after the fact. Drawing again makes a new link.
The party game, kept clear of the movie
Dirty Santa on this page is wrapped boxes, a drawn number, and a steal limit. People searching those two words sometimes land on a film. There is no trailer here and no costume note. Bring the gifts to the table and let the numbers decide the seats.
Text the spending number with the invitation. Draw the morning of the gathering so the thread shows the clock time. Two steals, then that gift freezes. The last number chooses last. If the crowd spills onto the porch, keep each turn short and let the shared link settle any "who shuffled it" question.
FAQ
What is a Dirty Santa number generator?
It draws a fair turn order for the party game. Type the names or ask for numbers only, then share the result. This page is about the living-room game, not a film, a song, or a costume.
How is Dirty Santa different from white elephant?
The play is the same. Dirty Santa is the name you will hear most often in the South. Steals, a frozen gift, and a final swap for player 1 all work the way they do at a white elephant party.
Can we play Dirty Santa on a video call?
Yes. Share the link so everyone has the same order, then reveal one number at a time on screen. If you ordered the video, play that file on the call and pause between turns.
