Christmas Party

This year I decided to host an "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party". I kept it low key and invited only a small group of friends - there were 8 adults total. Due to the fact that these parties are so popular now (therefore the thrift stores are very limited in their selection) we had to vamp the rules and admitt any type of shirt as long as it was christmassy(?) and ugly. I'm glad we did, cause we ended up with a nice variety of 'christmas ugliness'. We munched on appetizers while we waited for the ham to finish glazing. Then we sat down for a relaxing kid free dinner. When we were finishing eating we cleared the table and let the games begin! We played a christmas dice game I found browsing the internet that we shall forever refer to as "Doubles!" - it involves dice, oven mitts and a present that has been wrapped about 15 times... it was so much fun! We ended the evening with a nice game of Cranium - boys vs. girls. I'm sad to report: Girls lost :( Next year fellas!!... next year! ;)

The Table ... it was nice to have something beautiful set up to offset all of the "ugliness".
