CHRISTMAS PARTY ACTIVITY:

Holiday Scrabble, on Amazon

Invite six or seven adult friends over for a relaxed, leisurely afternoon or evening of board game playing. Set out several different board games, and set up two or three tables for separate gaming. Serve snacks and goodies, but not a sit down meal.

AFTER CHRISTMAS PARTY DECORATIONS:

Holiday Memory Game, on Amazon

Your guests might be Christmased-out at this point, so remove a few decorations (if you are one of the people who don't take your tree down until after New Year's) and keep your game tables clutter-free.
