Hosting Christmas --Ideas

Is it going to be an adults-only affair or will there be children present?
Well, if you check John's bio, you'll see that he's going to be four years old on New Years Day. I think it's a safe bet that children will be present. :-D Chris Meech It's much easier to get rich telling people what they want to hear. Chistopher Duncan I can't help getting older, but I refuse to grow up. Roger Wright I've been meaning to change my sig. Thanks! Alvaro Mendez We're more like a hobbiest in a Home Depot drooling at all the shiny power tools, rather than a craftsman that makes the chair to an exacting level of comfort by measuring the customer's butt.

I am pretty advanced for my age. Ya... there will be kids there. I'd just like to add a couple of new things to the event. We only host Christmas once in a while... so we only get a chance to try something new once in a while. Recipes, drinks? games? events? presents? John

I'm hosting Christmas this year and I'm looking for any cool ideas on how to add a little novelty to the event. Any favorite parts of the Christmas celebration that you care to pass on? JM

My most favourite part, (Hey Megan, you'll love this one :)), is to gather up all the chocolate candy that I can find. I then proceed to devour all or as much of it as I can before the clock strikes noon hour. You just can't have enough chocolate for Christmas breakfast, I say. I then starve myself for the rest of the day until we sit down for a huge turkey and ham dinner. When I can no longer get up from the chair, I know I'm done and a stretcher is brought in to wheel me away. :) It's less than two weeks away and I can't wait for it.

I like to sacrifice a goat, but they're probably hard to get in your area; you can substitute a chicken. The kids love to watch it run around the living room bumping into the furniture and scaring the bejeezus out of the cat. Getting Grandma drunk and then hiding stuff from her - glasses, teeth, shoes, purse, etc - is also fun. Have a Merry Christmas!:-D "Your village called -
They're missing their idiot." -

Sometimes we sit around and look thru the last few weeks of TV Guide counting the number of times "It's a Wonderful Life" was on. Does that count? All I've ever wanted was an honest week's pay for an honest day's work.
