The Ultimate Holiday Party!
friday, December 14, 2018
With Christmas being the busiest time of the year, even getting all your friends together to celebrate the Holidays can be tough. And with the hustle & bustle of the Christmas rush, planning a party can be pretty stressful. That’s why I’m here to spread some Christmas cheer & give you your Christmas wish!
Though the Holidays are busy, one of the fun things about the Holidays are the parties! It’s a great time to get together with friends, celebrate, have fun & enjoy the Holiday szn. With all the Holiday treats, the lights & decorations, the holiday cheer & the gifts, there’s a TON to prepare for when planning a Holiday party. But don’t sweat - I’ve thought of it all & I’m here to save your Christmas
Sit back, take notes & most importantly, have a Merry Christmas (party)!
🎄 FEST It Up! 🎄
If there’s one thing we can agree on about the Holiday szn, I’m sure it’s this. Most of us LOVE the Holidays for all the festive decorations we see everywhere! From the lights, to the Christmas trees, to even the snow (depending where you live), the FEEL of Christmas 7 the Holidays comes from the decorations.
When throwing a Holiday party, incorporating the same decor is a MUST! No need to go big or go home, but simply decorating your party area with some tinsel, or even getting a mini christmas tree would be a great added touch! A great way to add some holiday cheer to your party is adding the Santa Hat Drinking Game to your party! It’s a great decor piece for your party, as well as a fun game for you and your friends!
🥂 Holiday Sweet Treats
Are A MUST!! 🥂
One thing that gets me excited for the Holiday is the season treats the Holidays bring! From Candy Canes, to Hot Chocolate, to Sugar Cookies (my personal favourite), to of course Eggnog, Holiday sweets & treats will definitely be a crowd favoruite at any holiday party! To make your guests feel right at home, make sure to have some of these Holiday favourites at your party!

*Holiday Tip*
A party can get HOT. Wear a Holiday tee instead, to stay cool & still be in theme.
Urban Outfitters has some great Holiday t-shirts this szn.
One of my favourites is The Office happy Holidays Tee!
🎁 ‘Tis The Szn For A Holiday Gift Exchange! 🎁
One popular thing to do during the holidays is a Gift Exchange! Among a small or large group of friends, it’s a great way to share how much you appreciate your friends, and spread of holiday cheer with Gift giving. A great gift exchange me & my friends participate in is actually called White Elephant. The rules for this gift exchange is simple:
You set a budget. You buy a gift. you get together. You draw named from a hat to see who goes first, and then a player picks a gift from the pile. Once the first person picks a gift, the second player goes. The second player can decide if he wants to pick a gift, or steal the first persons gift. And so on. It’s a fun way to exchange gifts.
When getting together with your friends, don’t be afraid to choose a low budget. Your gift does not need to be costly, to be important. There’s tons of affordable gifts with great use to them!
