CHRISTMAS PARTY ACTIVITY: Invite ten to twenty adults over for a retro-styled Christmas cocktail party. Encourage guests to dress in vintage 1940s or 1950s costumes if you're into that sort of fun. Serve retro themed foods, play vintage Christmas songs, and offer a couple retro activities (stringing popcorn for the tree for example).
