Christmas Party Planning Contest
to host a party of some sort, but formal affairs aren't exactly your
cup of tea, and many of your friends have children that you would
like to include - so, what kind of party could you decide upon that
would incorporate all of the above and fill in the gaps with Christmas
cheer, fun, laughter, and just a wonderful week-end event?
Well, since Holiday entertaining is really - bottom line - making
memories to treasure and to rekindle for a lifetime- originality,
great food, and, of course, warm and congenial guests and stimulating
conversations - not a tall order, just a very Holiday order.

GivingGallery would like to recommend taking Saxon chocolates when
you are invited to one such party. Chocolates are a simple treat that
can be shared and appreciated by all.Well then, let's have a tree-trimming
party. Hold on - my Christmas tree is a very special tree with hand-made
ornaments, heirloom items, etc. My family and I enjoy decorating our
tree by ourselves - it's just such a special
"home"
event.

That's fine - solution - get a tree just for your party.
It could go on your porch, in your family room, or on an enclosed
patio or in any extra room of your home. This tree will be a "party"
tree. The decorations will be unique and you can enjoy your friends
without sacrificing your family traditions. A festive dinner, spirited
holiday happiness and a lot of fun equals a memorable holiday party.
Invitations - cut out a different item for each invitation, such as
an angel, a santa, a rocking horse, candle, wreath, etc. On the back
include all the information about your party, and the front will be
what your guest will contribute to the tree. Decorated with felt,
sequins, paint, chalk, etc. let them be creative and you might just
discover a Rembrandt in the making.
If you like, your ornaments can be felt or paper, whichever you choose
to be decorated. Your guests can join together for a conversation-starting
garland session. Have popcorn, dried cranberries, pretzels, dried
fruits etc. What you don't use on the tree, everyone grab your mittens
and head outdoors. These garlands will decorate your trees and bushes
to give your fine feathered friends a Holiday treat as well.
Spicy and tangy party shrimp, sliced pork roast with a fragrant dressing
and plenty of gravy to go around, some oven baked potato slices, squash
gratin, poached pears, ice cream sundaes, and so on. Party food but
not overpowering.
A take-home gift - Miniature trees stationed at your front door, lined
up for each guest to take home, decorate, and use on dressers, countertops,
etc. Just carrying their craftiness a step further.
Have Christmas carols playing in the background, have your guests
sing right along as they work. If you want lively fun with a lot of
Holiday atmosphere, you can't go wrong with a tree-trimming party.
