The Twelve Days of Christmas, by Laurel Long, on AmazonCHRISTMAS PARTY ACTIVITY:
Martha Stewart Cake Stencils, on AmazonInvite local friends and family members over (long after their morning gift-opening time) for brunch. Keep it stress-and-obligation free. This is a great party for people who aren't traveling to visit relatives and don't want to be "alone on Christmas" but need downtime too. They can come to your brunch, go home and relax in front of their fireplaces. Serve a hearty festive brunch, encouraging people to eat comfortably on your couches rather than sitting formally at your dining table.
