What are suggestions for traditional Christmas party and decorating ideas?
Hi Party Ideas here! I am adding onto this answer. Why not use a traditional Christmas theme like Candy Canes or Peppermints. Everything will look great in red and white! You can also use Presents as a decorating idea. Have lots brightly wrapped presents with ribbons and bows spread all over. Then of course there is ….Santa Claus and his reindeer. You can’t get more traditional than that!
Well I think if you log onto Martha Stewart’s website or pick up her magazine or book(s) you will see some of the best. Martha rocks! : ) Traditional favorites for nibbling and drinking; well made egg nog (go easy on the booze), wassa (sp?), hot cocoa made with high quality chocolate and have several little containers filled with homemade marshmallows, peppermint candies, etc. to put into the cocoa. To eat; sliced ham and turkey (if you want to be fancy duck!) put out some great chibata square sandwich breads, some veggie platter with dipping containers of Ranch dressing and oil and vinegar. Decorations; lots of greens–holly, mistletoe (both poisoness so make sure they are where children and pets can’t get to them), cut from trees outside your home any evergreens. Right now you can find beautiful wreaths of fresh greens available or make your own, I do! Have a great looking tree, festive little decorated trees on tables throughout the house. Keep it simple and elegant, nothing tacky a
