I live in an apartment and was limited in my ability to invite too many, but we had 8 total in attendance. I asked guests, if they could, to wear their comfy pajamas and Christmas socks and house shoes. I gave gifts of Holiday Scentsy warmers to the favorite PJ’s (voted by all in attendance) and a second runner up as well.

We broke up into teams of four and played the Reindeer Game. It was a blast and we laughed until our stomachs ached! Then we went around the room and each of us told our favorite Christmas memories…some were tear jerker’s, others were hilarious and some gave us great tradition ideas to try with our families.

As appetizers, I served a Cheeseball Snowman, Pita Guacamole Christmas Trees and Santa Salsa (just a jar of Chipotle Jelly mixed with fresh cut mangos and some cilantro). I also offered hot apple cider (apple cider with Red Hots added, just heated on the stove), coffee with Bailey’s or Kahlua liqueur, wine, champagne and sodas.

I provided Christmas print, throw-away aluminum pans with plastic lids for everyone to load up their cookies and also had a gift bag for each attendee which included a Christmas scented square candle and two plastic Christmas cookie cutters wrapped in ribbon.

Have a very Merry Christmas and please keep sharing!
