Family Fun – Have a Christmas Tree Decorating Party

Christmas is the time of traditions and family parties. From pipe cleaner candy canes to making and decorating gingerbread houses, there is no time like Christmas for family party. Whether you have yearly holiday traditions already in place at your house or are looking for ways to start a new tradition, you’ve come to the right place.

One tradition that many households celebrate during the holidays is decorating the Christmas tree.

Create a Party Theme Around Your Christmas Tree Decorating “Chore”

An annual tradition that you can try is to throw a Christmas tree decorating party. You can change it up a bit every year so no one gets bored with the same family Christmas party year after year. Pick a separate party theme for your Christmas tree decorating party, and prepare food and Christmas decor that fit the theme.
Here are a few examples of party themes you could use:

Snowmen – Create snowmen from all kinds of things like foam, cotton balls, construction paper, etc. Make a big snowman dressed to the hilt with his broom and top hat to place on the top.

Tree of Garland – You can create garland out of almost anything. Popcorn, construction paper chains, beads, ribbons, string are all great ideas. You can even create a charm garland by taking a piece of string and attaching various crafts or trinkets from the year past.

Color Coordination – Pink & Purple, Red & Green, Blue & Silver, or Gold & Silver, whatever colors your heart desires. Choose two or three colors at most to keep from going over board. You can add bows, ribbons, or any other decoration you’d like as long as it keeps the color scheme.

Baby – Got a baby celebrating their first Christmas this year or expecting your first child? Decorate your tree with craft items that resemble baby bottles, teething rings, rattles, etc.

These are just a few of the many ways you can make your Christmas tree decorating party more special.Get creative and think of some of your own too. Have fun decorating your tree and celebrating this tradition with a party. It will help if you bake some cookies the day before and preparing hot chocolate throughout the day of the party.

Don’t forget the Christmas carols playing in the background. No holiday decorating is complete without your favorite songs to sing along with.

Whether it’s a breakfast-brunch party with family members in their pajamas, or a formal dinner time party where even the children are wearing a tuxedo vest, this is one party idea you can enjoy with your family.
