Naughty and nice Ice breakers

“Have you been naughty or nice?” is my favorite nice ice breaker at holiday cocktail parties.

But thanks to one of my co-workers with a wicked sense of humor, I learned a naughty one, although as social editor I caution you to use this only with someone you know well enough to tease because it’s never funny to hurt someone’s feelings: If you see someone in a sweater at a holiday party, go up to them and say, “I didn't know this was an ugly sweater party.”

You’ll probably get pinched, but it is a funny line.
