When you think about Christmas you think about Santa Claus and the North Pole, which in turn makes you think of cold weather and snow. This year, however, when you are coming up with Christmas party ideas why not think tropical; think beach. For your tree you can usually find some type of themed lights from your local party store and perhaps you could make leis instead of using tinsel or garland; decorate it with mini sand dollars or shells that you can find at a craft store. When you send out your Christmas party invitations why not include a little sand in the envelope or write the information on a shell or sand dollar? The possibilities are endless.
You might wish to continue your beach Christmas party theme with the food. You can serve it Luau style by placing a few blankets on the floor with shells and greenery placed on them as decorations. Since traditional Luau style food might not be easy to find you can be creative by serving a pineapple glazed ham.
Throwing a Christmas party for the kids may seem like a lot of work or you may have trouble coming up with ideas for Christmas parties for kids. If so, then consider a Candy Land Christmas party theme. You can decorate by making Hershey Kiss garlands. Lay out long strips of plastic wrap, put 2 or 3 kisses together, move down and do it again. Continue to the end of the wrap and then take some curling ribbon and tie knots between each set of kisses. Make lollipops and candy canes to use as decorations, perhaps making 2 extra large candy canes and arching them over the main entranceway.
To amuse the kids, have them make Christmas party ornaments that they can take home, like a candy sleigh. For this use two candy canes (curled side up) for the sleigh, attach a Hershey miniature chocolate bar about 1/4 of the way down on top of both candy canes and another directly in front of it, then taking one more and fastening it straight up with the others to look like a seat. Then use a small chocolate Santa Claus, put a bit of adhesive on his feet and attach him to the back of the chair. Get a few miniature wrapped Dove bars (you can get them packaged like gifts) and attach them to the seat like decorated gifts.
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?
