Christmas Party #8: Christmas Holiday Charity Party

Golden Trumpet Gilded Pines Wreath, on Etsy

CHRISTMAS CHARITY PARTY ACTIVITY:

Meri Meri 12 Days of Christmas Cupcake Kit, on Amazon

Invite six or seven friends over to help work on a charity project you all agree on. You might be knitting holiday-themed baby caps and booties for a local hospital; stuffing charity Christmas stockings for foster children; organizing a food drive for a food bank; or working together on some other related assistance. Be sure to let your guests know the party's theme well ahead of time so they can bring any needed supplies.

Feed your workers but make sure they have plenty of time to get work done too! Because of this, I don't recommend a sit down meal.


CHRISTMAS CHARITY PARTY DECORATIONS:

Pinecone Christmas Paper Plates, on Amazon

Pinecone Topiary, from Pier 1

Pinecone Guest Towel, from Pottery Barn

Keep decorations simple and low-key. For a Christmas charity party, you don't want to be blitzy, blingy or over-the-top fancy. Acknowledge the season, but do it respectfully.
