New Years Eve Party

There is nothing quite like the excitement of planning a New Years Eve party. It is surely going to be a memorable event no matter if you are celebrating at party venues in London or in the comfort of your own home. There are a few things to keep in mind when planning your party and if you get a head start on the preparations, then you will save yourself a lot of headaches and stress later down the line.

A New Years Eve party is not complete without a guest list. Keep in mind that many people make their plans for this special occasion several weeks or even months in advance. The city venues on this special day play an important factor as well.

Some cities have very elaborate fireworks displays and New Years Eve hotel deals that require people to register very early. When planning a party in the comfort of your home, you will want to send out the invitations, at a minimum, the first week of December.

Yes, this is a time of year when most people are sending out greeting cards, but you want to plan your guest list early. Always include an RSVP card and follow up with phone calls and emails to confirm attendance.

The next step to planning your New Years Eve party is deciding on if you will have a theme. Some people enjoy having theme or masquerade parties. It adds a festive quality to the special event of ringing in a brand new year. Besides the idea of a theme party, you will also need to determine if you will be serving alcohol.

If there is alcohol served, then you want to either arrange for guests to stay the night or arrange for taxi service. The most important factor is never allowing a person to drive when they have consumed an alcoholic beverage. This should be a time for festivities, not tragedies.

Keep the menu simple. Everyone should have fun and this includes you. Finger foods are an excellent way to allow guests to mingle and have scrumptious appetizers that do not require sitting down to eat.

Most parties include alcohol, but you also want to provide plenty of non-alcoholic drinks for those who are designated drivers or do not believe in imbibing. Travel New Years Eve is about arriving safe and sound, so once again, make sure there are designated drivers or sleeping arrangements for people who will be staying with you. This factor cannot be reiterated enough.

New Years Eve is a big event. The New Year’s ball in Times Square will be making its drop. It is a brand new ball that will slowly show the world that New York has jumped into the New Year. Others will follow and even within your home New Years Eve party, merrymaking will be occurring as people blow their horns, twirl their tassels and get ready to greet the New Year.

The Elf on a Shelf – 10 Sets of Mischievous Ideas For Adding Magic to Your Holiday Season

General Comments Off
Snow Elf

The Elf on the Shelf Christmas and Elf Magic traditions are sweeping the nation — for good reason. They offer a delightful way to build excitement for the holidays, and keep children on their best behavior. Here is how they work.

The “official” Elf on the Shelf, Elf Magic Elf or a another elf, arrives at your home early in the Christmas season to spend the holidays with your family.

Each night the Elf on a Shelf returns to the North Pole, while your children are sleeping, to report to Santa regarding their behavior.

While the Elf on the Shelf Elves have a more staid reputation, the Elf Magic Elves are a mischievous bunch, and have a tendency to make a mess or pull a crazy stunt while everyone is asleep. Your kids will love to wake up each morning and see what trouble the Elf got into the night before.

Here are ten ideas found around the internet and from local families to inspire your elf:

Elves Love to Do What Your Kids Love To Do

Elves adapt quickly to a household, and many mornings are found busy with the favorite activities of the kids who live there. Reading favorite books, playing games (including the Wii or Nintendo DS), having a tea party with best-loved dolls, and riding skateboards are all favorite Elf past times.

Elves Are Into Computers and Social Media

Elves in homes with teens have been known to have email, Facebook and Twitter accounts to keep an online eye on the kids and send funny emails, status updates and tweets. Many elves also seem to surf the internet late at night, finding fun new sites for the kids to enjoy.

Elves Love to be in Pictures

Apparently, Elves are very good at self portraits. Many families have found their digital cameras full of pictures of their Elves in all kinds of crazy poses.

Elves Often Have A Driver’s License

If an Elf cannot be found in the morning, the car is the first place to look. Elves are often found in the driver’s seat, sitting on a stack of pillows or books. The car may be parked backwards or in a crazy position, and in some cases even down the street or in a neighbor’s driveway. Typically, Christmas music is blaring through the speakers and the gas tank is mysteriously closer to empty than before.

Elves Write in Journals

Elves and children often learn more about each other and build bonds by writing letters back and forth. Some Elves arrive with a festively decorated journal to keep all the correspondence in one place. It has been rumored that some Elves only write backwards, so children must hold the note up to the mirror to read it. A few are conversant in Pig Latin or other codes that older kids must decipher.

Elves Tell Potty Jokes, Too

Bathroom humor spans all languages and species. Elves love to turn the toilet water green (with food coloring), decorate Christmas trees in underwear, toilet paper kids rooms or whole houses, and write on bathroom mirrors with mom’s lipstick.

Elves Spell Their Names – Everywhere!

Each Elf has a name. Some are named by the children they watch. Others arrive with a note introducing the Elf. Either way, all Elves seem to love to leave their signature as often as possible. Maybe the Elf’s name is written in Cheerios, flour, or chocolate syrup on the counter. Other times in toothpaste on the bathroom mirror. Best of all, in food coloring on freshly fallen snow.

Elves Love Things That Remind Them of Home

Cotton ball snowball fights are a favorite past time of elves. Also, Elves often make elf sized snow angels. If real snow is not available, then Insta-Snow or flour make good substitutes. A favorite game for Elves is Candy Lane. If the house does not already have a copy, Elves have been known to bring one from the North Pole as an early Christmas gift.

Elves Do Not Always Come Alone

What could be better than an Elf on the Shelf? Several Elves, of course. That means the mischief can multiply and children awake to elaborate scenes of Elf mayhem. Maybe a poker game or baseball or football match or a play with Elves in costume (borrowed from other dolls).

Elves Play With Their Neighbor Elves

So many families have their own Elf on a Shelf during the holidays that Elves join with neighbor Elves to increase the fun. Many neighbor elves have been waiting together at the bus stop for their children to arrive. Other Elves host a Christmas party for neighborhood kids.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless for your elf tradition. Happy Holidays!

Six Best Christmas Games For Groups

General Comments Off
75th Emmitsburg Lions Childrens Christmas Part...
Image by davem via Flickr

Christmas! The season which celebrates the birth of Jesus; when we spend time with family and friends, indulging in too much good food, and attending endless parties. It’s a time of great joy yet it can also be a time of great stress. One of these stresses may be the organisation of a church, office or club Christmas party. Here are six of the best Christmas games for groups, if you have the task of planning a party for a large group.

You may like to start with a Christmas icebreaker game where people can be introduced to each other and everyone can begin to enter the joy of a party. “All I Want for Christmas” is one example, where players sit in a circle. One player starts by saying “My name is… All I want for Christmas is…” The next player states their name before saying “All (name of first player) wants is… All I want for Christmas is…” Players continue around the circle. Any player who cannot repeat the list of everyone’s name and gift is out. You may like to restart the games when the list gets to about 10-12 names to make it a little easier.

Another element of many Christmas parties is a time to exchange gifts where each person brings one gift to a required value (say $5). This can be done by conducting a simple raffle, but why not make it into a game? One of the most popular and fun Christmas gift exchange games is the “Left Right Christmas Game.” Again, players sit in a circle, each holding a gift. The games leader narrates a story. Each time the word ‘left’ is mentioned, players pass their gift to the left. Similarly when the word ‘right’ is spoken, gifts are passed to the right. At the end of the story, each person opens the gift they have at that time.

One of the more active Christmas games for groups is “Balloon Relay.” Two teams line up at one end of the room. One team is given a red balloon and a wooden ruler. The other team has a green balloon and ruler. Team players must bat their balloon, using only their ruler, around a chair at the other end of the room and back in a relay.

Younger children may enjoy “Christmas Card Hunt”, where each child is given half a card. They must find the matching halves of the Christmas cards which have been scattered around the room. The first child to find three matching halves wins the game.

A Christmas carol game is an interesting way of testing your knowledge of Christmas carols in a team game format. There are a number of games you could play. One example involves one player from the team who is given the name of a carol and must draw a picture. The rest of the team must guess the carol and sing the first verse within a one minute time limit.

Finally, “All Tied Up” is another one of the active Christmas games for groups. Each team forms a circle and is given a ball of twine (one red, one green if possible). The first player winds the twine once around their waist and passes it to the next player who does likewise. The first team to wrap themselves completely in twine wins.

Outside Christmas Decorations For the Holidays

General Comments Off
More christmas decorations
Image by masmad via Flickr

Christmas decorations should not stop with the indoor variety. If you can, you should do some outdoor decorating as well. It makes your neighborhood look nice. It gives your neighbors, as well as passer by’s something nice to look at, it gives you a reason to be proud and it is just plain fun decorating.

You really do not have to spend tons of money, either. You don’t have to decorate every corner of your house. If you just decorate part of your house, say your front porch and the rest of the front area, it can be enough decorating. Of course, if you have the extra money or if you find some great deals on decorations, there is nothing wrong with decorating your entire front yard and your entire house.

As with any project, as you begin thinking about decorating and forming your plans, begin with paper and pen. Make a list of what you need. You may even want to go through your decorations you all ready have. Many items will last for many years, if you take care of them properly.

After you gather your products, remember one vital thing, not all decorations are made for the outside. Look at the attached tags and make sure all lights and all other electric items are actually made for the outdoors. If the item is an indoor decoration, do not use it. Indoor decorations are not made for the outside climate. They are not made for moisture and are a fire hazard. You don’t want a fire to ruin your holiday season or anybody else’s. You also should examine all plug ins. They need to be in good shape and all wires should be in good shape, no frays or cuts in them. If you see a cut, throw away the product. You may be tempted to tape it up with electrical tape. Resist the urge. Moisture could still get inside and a fire could occur.

Be sure to add outside lights to your list. It doesn’t matter what style you use. They can be rope style, bigger, older, looking style lights or twinkling lights. Before you go to the bother of hanging them up, be sure they all actually work and that they blink, if they are suppose to blink. Do this before you start climbing that ladder. Speaking of ladders, make sure it is safe and securely positioned on the ground before climbing. Now begin placing the lights in all those wonderful places. You can buy special clips or you can make your own holders using nails and strong rope. Hang them in any way that you like best.

Finally, do not forget to decorate your porch a bit. String some garland on the porch banisters. Hang a pretty wreath from your front door. Place an outside Santa or Snowman in your yard. Then stand back and enjoy your final creation, your own festive look, with your own Outside Christmas Decorations.

Free Christmas Party Games And Activities

Enliven the spirit of Christmas with a couple of fun games for children. Here are two delightful Christmas party games that can be played with any number of children.

Sea King Christmas Party Game
In the Sea King Christmas party game, one player is selected to play the role of the “Sea King” whose duty is to stand in the center of a circle, formed by the rest of the players seated around him. The circle should be as large as possible. The game continues with each player choosing the name of a fish. The ‘Sea King’ runs around the circle calling each player by his/her fish name.

As the King calls out their names, each player gets up and follows the Sea King. Once all his subjects have left their seats, the sea king calls out, “The sea is troubled”, and sits on a seat immediately. Following his example, his subjects also rapidly seat themselves. The player who fails to get a seat has to take the place of the Sea King and the game continues.

Sally Water Christmas Party Game
Sally Water Christmas party game is an enjoyable game, with a lot of singing and dancing involved. Children will love to play this Christmas party game. The game begins with the formation of a circle by all the children except one little girl who kneels in the center. The children then dance around the girl singing the following rhyme.

“Sally, Sally Water, sprinkle in the pan,
Rise, Sally, rise, Sally, for a young man;
Choose for the best and choose for the worst,
And choose the very one you love the most.
Now you’re married I wish you joy,
First a girl and then a boy;
Seven years after, son and daughter,
Pray, young couple, come kiss together.”

When the second line is sung, the child in the center rises with the cue “Rise, Sally!” and chooses another child from the circle. The children then sing the remaining lines of the verse and the two children in the circle dance round and kiss. Sally then joins the circle while the second child remains there and plays as Sally. The Christmas party game continues and goes on till all the children have acted the role of Sally.

Christmas Door Decorating Ideas to Bedazzle Your Porch!

General Comments Off
Christmas decorations

If you really want to bring people into the Christmas spirit when they come to your home during the holidays, here are several Christmas door decorating ideas that can be an excellent first step. Your entrance way is the first thing that people see when they come to your home so it might be the most important part of your Christmas decorating.

One of the interesting Christmas door decorating ideas that some people have tried is to make your front door look like it is a giant wrapped present. In order to do this, wrap the door up to the edge and fold the paper back under itself rather than wrapping around the edge. Use pieces of double stick tape to stick the paper onto your front door. You can use the same trick to put on large pieces of ribbon and then leave a big bow in the center. You may want to test the tape on your door to be sure it does not bother the paint.

For a twist on this idea, make a matching smaller door out of cardboard for the elves to use. Cover the cardboard with the same color that you covered your real door. Add a small wreath or ribbon to match your real door. Set it next to your real door and post a little note that says “Elves enter here!”

If you would like to try something different and you have someone artistic in your family, you can cover your door with Bristol board that shows a scene of what it looks like inside. When people walk up to the door, it will look like the door is already open and they will be greeted with a festive scene. You can make it look just like the front hall of your home only you can add Santa, some elves or whatever your imagination can come up with. If you use Bristol board instead of paper it is something that you could use again next Christmas.

There is nothing quite as traditional and charming as a beautiful wreath on your front door. That idea never goes out of style. Go to your craft store or browse a magazine for an idea that you enjoy. Whether you make it yourself or purchase a ready-made wreath, you can have a lot of fun. Invite a friend or neighbor to make a wreath with you. Instructions for making Christmas wreaths can be found online in blogs, forums and videos.

Those evergreen wreaths that you purchase at the craft store need to be “fluffed up” each year. Take a little time to perk up the evergreen sprigs. Add a beautiful bow for a simple but stunning wreath. Or decorate the entire wreath with ornaments or natural materials like berries, pine cones and grasses. Place the largest items on the wreath first and then fill in with the smaller items. You can use a hot glue gun or the wires on the wreath – wrapping each item very snugly.

Some other fun Christmas door decorating ideas include taking things from inside and using them outside. If you have extra stockings that you do not use any more, you can hang them from the door for something different than the traditional wreath. The same goes for old Christmas tree decorations or collections of bows from old Christmas presents.

Whenever it is that you choose for Christmas door decorating ideas this holiday season remember to have lighting on your porch. Extra lighting gives your porch a festive look and also makes it a little safer for guests. Enjoy the holidays without adding extra stress to your schedule. If you enjoy making decorations for your home and have set aside time to do that, then have a ball! Purchasing a beautiful wreath or other ornament for your door is fantastic as well. Enjoy the season!

New Moon and Twilight Party Ideas

General Comments Off
New Moon
Image by §atsukiame]Øut for Bløød[ via Flickr

I foresee a New Moon and then an Eclipse in your future! Twilight's New Moon is due out in theaters in November...but I bet it's going to cause a huge noise in October! The Eclipse movie is due out in 2010.

You guessed it...New Moon and Twilight Halloween party ideas are going to go through the roof this Halloween season. With all the great costume and party game ideas we can get from the Twilight Saga of course it's going to be a huge dress up costume party theme.

You can have the theme of your Halloween party be The Cullen's, The Volturi, Quileute pack members or any of the Forks residents. Have a Vampire theme Halloween costume party and invite all your friends who are Twilight fans...and even those who aren't. There are so many costume ideas you can get from Stephanie Meyer's Vampire Saga. Dress like Bella Swan going to the prom, or like Alice Cullen at Bella's High School graduation party.

There's also James, Laurent and Victoria to get some fun Halloween costume ideas from. You can be Jane of the Volturi and your boyfriend can be Alex or Caius. Your more inventive car loving friends can come in car costumes. They can get some inspiration from Bella's red truck, Edward's Volvo or even Rosalie's red BMW M3 convertible. Cars can be made out of cardboard boxes and homemade box costumes are not that hard to make.

You can have a make up counter set up and let some of your talented friends become Vampire makeup artists. That will be a great time to take some photographs. Imagine how much fun it will be taking these pics. And they will make for some great photos! Pale shades of makeup, purple eye shadow, shimmery make up will be great accessories at your Vampire make up center. You can also add a little red cake decorating gel in case anyone wants to look like they've just had a little snack.

Make sure to play the movie soundtrack at your party. A little Muse, Linkin Park, Paramore and don't forget Rob Pattinson to get everyone into the Zone. Put out your books with their distinctive colors and hang up some posters of your favorite characters, whether it's Bella, Edward, Jacob or Alice, it will look festive. Twinkle lights and lots of black and red party ware will help you bring the feel of the novels to your party.

You can find and print out some bookmarks to give each of your guests. You can find these bookmarks with pictures of Kristin Stewart, Rob Pattinson, Ashley Greene and of course,Taylor Lautner, online and they're free. They would be just perfect as a party Thank You gift!

Candy Apples would make a great Twilight party favor idea for your Halloween bash, or just have them out as a party treat. Red Punch looks like something Vampires would drink. It is easy to make a batch with some ginger ale and cranberry juice. Put some raisins in your ice cube trays to add a little Halloween fun with your drinks. It will look like a bug in each ice cube. You can also get a rubber glove (make sure it's the non-allergic type) fill it with water and seal the top. Set it upright in the freezer so the water doesn't leak out. When it's frozen, take it out of the glove and you will have an Ice Hand to float in your punch bowl. All your party guests will get a good laugh over that.

Serve easy party food. You can order pizza, it's a great party food idea. It's easy to serve and to eat. Everyone loves Pizza! Have some bowls of salsa and chips, and of course, you will need some cake or cupcakes for dessert. Put an image of Bella and Edward, or the entire Twilight cast right on top of your cake or cupcakes. I'll tell you how in the resource box at the end of this article! It's easy to decorate your own party cake or cupcakes. And it's cheaper to make your own party cake, rather than order one from the bakery.

You can also use your dessert, cupcakes, as a party activity for your friends. Let them design their own Twilight cupcake. You provide the cupcakes and the decorations for them and let your friends use their imaginations to decorate their own. Have a Twilight Cupcake Decorating Contest and give the winner a "Golden Onion" or a shiny "Red Apple" as a game prize.

If you include the Werewolves in your party invitations you could always have a Werewolf Howling Contest. Why not see if some of the Vampires can't give the Quileute Pack some competition in the Wolf howling category.

Twilight Trivia or Jeopardy is a must at this Halloween party based on the Vampire Human love story. Get all your friends to think of the most difficult trivia question they know, before the party. Use their questions during your game...let's see how hard they are to answer! Make sure you have a second Golden Onion to give out as a trivia game prize!
