CHRISTMAS PARTY ACTIVITY:

Gingerbread Man Garland Kit, at Paper Source

Invite five or six craft loving women to your home to work on individual craft projects with cheerful, inspiring company. Serve finger food appetizers and desserts, but not a sit down meal. Spread craft supplies (paper, pens, glue, stickers, felt, glitter, tape, etc.) out on your dining table, and encourage people to bring their current holiday projects.

At the end of the evening, serve dessert, and photograph guests holding up the lovely things they've created.
