Encourage friends and family to dig into the depths of their closets and wear their most hideous cardigan or turtleneck to an ugly sweater party. You'll want to have a camera ready when you see your neighbor stroll in with an atrocious Rudolph pullover. Once guests have stopped laughing, serve them some spiked egg nog and fruit cake for the ultimate retro feel.
You'd be a square to not attend a hip circle party like this one. Start with simple circle invites and extend the round theme throughout the shindig. Hang tissue balls from the ceiling, arrange seating in a circle and hand out lollipops to the little ones
Spark your friends' creativity by hosting a handmade gift exchange party. Once you have received your RSVPs, assign each guest a person to make a small gift for. Serve holiday treats and open the gifts one-by-one to admire each others' handiwork.
