Christmas Party Ideas:

Don't lose your Christmas sparkle worrying about your upcoming party. It is the season for merrymaking and partying with friends and family. But more often than not, it's spent in the kitchen hurriedly putting the finishing touches on the food or rushing to decorate the tree before the guests arrive. This year, to ensure that you sit down and enjoy yourself, we've prepared a to-do list - full of innovative ideas - that will make sure you're prepared well before the doorbell rings. Keep in mind that planning is the keyword. So start early and send out your invites in time. Bring in the Xmas touch with the invites - use tree decorations, perhaps a large-sized star, and write down the party details with a marker. Remember to make a guest list so that you know your numbers. Check out our guide to see you through from start to a merry finish.

Christmas Party Decor Ideas:

Prepare your home for Christmas with a few innovative and inexpensive decorating ideas that will take just a few minutes:
1. Formal Spaces: Swap your cushions, throws, and rugs for ones with Christmassy colors. Nestle colorful baubles in containers. Suspend ornaments from curtain rods and chandeliers. Arrange flowers in shades of red and white or simply make an attractive center piece using a pie dish filled with parsley and red flowers.
2. Lighten Up: Candles add instant charm, so go all out and place candles on as many flat surfaces as possible (if you have young kids, enclose the candles in lanterns).
3. The Grand Table: Stack up dessert of different sizes, scatter green and red candles on the lower layer, and display fancy chocolates on the top. Tie up crisp cotton napkins with ribbons. Fill up the fruit bowls with pomegranates, red apples, green grapes, and limes and place on your table.

Christmas Party Kids Actvities:

Children get bored at family dos, so make sure you have some entertainment lined up for them.
Games Are An Instant Icebreaker: Get an older kid to organize games like twister, dancing statue, elimination dance or a good old treasure hunt with small prizes.
Screening A Movie: Is always a hit.
Keep Their Hands Busy: Keep them busy by getting them to decorate plain cookies with colored icing, Gems, and chocolate shavings.
Lay Out A Separate Table: Lay out a table for kids filled with finger foods, as kids are bound to be hungry as soon as they arrive.
