Christmas Party Ideas

We’re checking our list ... of Christmas Party Ideas, that is....

Make your office Christmas party, family Christmas or home Christmas party with friends and neighbors one people look forward to all year long!

As you can see there are lots of Christmas party ideas here at CheersAllYear.com. But, I wanted to take a moment to share some of my personal favorites: the party ideas that I use at my own parties.

In my neighborhood, everyone on the block is responsible for one party: Halloween, New Years, St. Patricks Day, Valentine’s Bruch, Chili Cookoff, 4th of July, and so on. We have LOTS of parties!

I selected the Christmas party. I’ve done it 8 years straight. I simply LOVE Christmas parties!

Since I host an annual Christmas party, I start my Christmas party planning well in advance. (and I couldn'’t do it without some great friends who help!).

I like to introduce a new Christmas party theme every year. I’m still trying to top my Christmas in New York party theme from a few years back. So, this year I’ll be hosting a Merry Mid-Century Mad Men Themed Christmas Party. You’ll hear all about that very soon.

Aside from changing the Christmas party theme each year, I also like to change up the icebreaker games and Christmas party games. Annual Christmas parties host many of the same people every year. I think it’s important to keep things fresh.

There are, however, two games I ALWAYS plan: The White Elephant Gift Exchange, and PartyTalk funny conversation cards.

I once commented to a friend that I was thinking of not doing the white elephant game (because we do it every year). She said, "OH, Please, please, please, have the white elephant game. Everybody loves it and I’ve been planning my white elephant gift since last year."

She’s right, everybody loves the white elephant game. And once you’ve done it a few years in a row, inside jokes, like reocurring bad gifts, create instant laughs. One year, some friends were crazed over a 2-foot ceramic pig soup tarrine that I thought no one would want. We still talk about that pig today (three years later)!

Our printable Party Talk funny conversation cards are my other "go-to" Christmas party idea. Here you see a photo from my last Christmas party. The printable cards are on the top. Because they’re printable, I have several sets. I put them in every room because they're the best icebreaker game out there.

True story, at last year’s Christmas party, I was in the kitchen when I heard laughter and heckling from the next room. I made my way toward to crowd to join in the fun. They were all marveling over PartyTalk cards. You wouldn’t believe the conversations that arose from these funny yet philosphical conversation starter questions.

Print "Party Talk" conversation cards on cardstock or on Avery 5371 or Avery 8371 business card stock, available online, or at your local Walmart, office or box-store. You can also print them on card stock and simply cut them apart.

Party Talk cards are one of the many printable party games we have for Christmas.
