Think Christmas, Think Santa!

Just because Christmas usually evokes thoughts of cold weather and snow it does not mean that your party planning has to follow that same theme each and every year. Consider a few different ideas for Christmas parties, such as making this one a warm tropical theme. Send out your invitations for a beach themed Christmas party asking the guests to wear something appropriate. Decorate your Christmas tree with flower leis or themed lights that you can find at your local party store or make your own tree skirt with different beach themed decorations added.

If you want to continue your beach Christmas party theme with the food, then you can serve it Luau style by placing several blankets on the floor with shells and greenery placed on them as decorations. Since traditional Luau style food may not be readily available you can improvise by serving a pineapple glazed ham.

If you need ideas for Christmas parties for kids, then consider having a Candy Land Christmas with candy cane and lollipop party decorations. The lollipops can be made by cutting out large circles and covering them with colored plastic wrap, attaching them to dowels and placing them around the yard and house. Consider taking gumdrops and stringing them together to use as garland on the tree or other decorations for the party. A cute idea for each party invitation is to write the details on a piece of paper, roll it up like a scroll, cover it with colored plastic wrap, twist the ends and tie them with colorful ribbon or yarn.

To entertain the kids, have them make Christmas party decorations that they can take home, such as a candy sleigh. For this use 2 candy canes (curled side up) for the sleigh, glue a Hershey miniature about 1/4 way down on top of both canes and another right in front of it, taking a third one and gluing it upright with the others to look like a seat. Take a small chocolate Santa, put a little glue on his feet and stick him to the back of the chair. Get a few small wrapped Dove bars (they have them wrapped like presents) and glue them to the seat like wrapped presents.

If you use a little imagination, then you will no doubt come up with many other ideas for Christmas parties, such as decorating with Gingerbread people everywhere. How about a Snow Ball theme, with snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, white twinkling lights and glittery blue and white tablecloths?
