Invite ten to twelve friends over for an international traditions Christmas cocktail party. Serve foods from other countries, and play international Christmas music.
Decorate with Scandinavian, French, Italian, Mexican and other international decorations and decor styles. If you do it right, you can include pieces here and there, so your house doesn't look like a hodgepodge of things thrown together. Add colorful lanterns with candles burning merrily to brighten the party and make it festive.
