Christmas Company

No matter who you are you are never too young or too old to throw a christmas party. Whether its your first christmas away from home at college, or youll be surrounded by family all through the holidays, theres always time for friends.

One thing that is important is remembering who your fmaily is, when your away from your family. Those would be the friends that you are surronded by day by day. Even if your broke and you have no money to throw a party, you dont really need much. Christmas isn't about big turkey and ham dinners, its about the people around you, thats what maters.

Pick a theme. You can go casual, or have people dress up. You can decide that everyone at the party has to wear either red or green, or you can do a good old fashioned ugly sweater party. Whichever theme you choose to go with, stick to it when youre getting ready yourself. You dont have to deck out your walls for this, the theme of your party will help you decide on decorations.
     - Casual Party -
      With a casual party you don't want to go all out. If you regularily decorate for the holidays do your regular decorating. A casual get together won't need many decorations. Drinks can be served in regular pitchers, food can be served buffet style.. etc
     - Dress up Dinner Party -
     - For this type of party i would definatly go with elegant decorations. For the night, I would take off the access coloured balls and fun oriments you hung on your tree. Stick to a colour theme, either silver and red or gold and red, for example. Put lots of clear lights on your christmas tree, and still dont forget the coloured lights! Keep up with the decoartions around the house, still you wont need many, but you should have some to continue the theme in atleast one room. Food can still be set up buffet style as it is a conveinience especially in a small space. If you have use of a punch bowl, set that out for drinks. Break out all the fanncy ugly dishes your grandma gave you when you moved into your first apartment.
     -Ugly Sweater Party-
      This is a fun way to celebrate the holidays. A fun thing to do would to be gather small chang or access spending money you might have an go to the second hand store. Buy some ugly platters and glasses. Some fun things to spice up the room. This is another party wher eyou wont have to decorate much, and its quite casual aswell.

no matter what party you are throwing, potluck is a great way to go. have everyone bring their favourite dish, whether its for christmas, or just anything else, youll end up with a fun wide variety of food. If you are going the more elegant approach with a dressy dinner party, put a little mroe control in the menu. Tell your friends you have selected items picked out, and ask each of them to bring a dish. That way all of the food and preparation isnt all on you, and you can enjoy the party aswell.

Once you have the theme to your party picked out,t he rest of self explanitory, You can chose to do whatever it is you would like to do. If a bunch of your friends enjoy the outdoors, dress warmly and play outside. You can do whatever you want, its your party.
