Christmas function ideas
Christmas is a time to enjoy with friends and family and celebrate the spirit of festivity through creative Christmas parties and functions, presents, snowball fights, cookie baking, cards to e-mail and post, and big Christmas lunches. But as the Christmas season approaches one can easily be frenzied by the chaos of Christmas season and leave one feeling exhausted, and left with little energy and motivation to plan your big Christmas function.
But before you drop down exhausted, here are a couple of Christmas function ideas that will definitely get you motivated and energised for your annual Christmas function for the office or friends and family. These ideas are especially fun as they can be used for an office Christmas function or a private party at home.
- Who said a Christmas function needs to be plagued with Christmas fathers, stockings, streamers and Christmas themed décor? Why not host an elaborate, cocktail affair themed, Cheese and Wine for those who love Christmas. It is the perfect way to start off the holiday. Mark out a Friday night in the beginning of December before everyone leaves for the holidays. Have everyone bring a bottle or two of wine, you supply a delicious variety of cheeses, light some candles, play background music, and prepare a festive cocktail for the evening. You don’t even have to invite a lot of people. You can make it intimate by inviting three or four couples. Or you can use this idea for a small to medium sized company’s year end function.
- Why not arrange a dual Christmas function? Throw a tree decorating party, and invite friends and family to help decorate the Christmas tree. Hey you can even ask each person to bring Christmas tree décor.
- Arrange a Christmas themed outfit party where each guest should dress up like a Christmas character for e.g. Christmas father, the elves, a snowman or anything that has a festive touch to it.
- Decide on an amount that will comfortably suit everyone’s budget and let everyone buy a gift of that Rand value and use it as an entrance pass. Put all the gifts on a gift table and have everyone pick out a gift for themselves. Not only does it take the pressure off Christmas shopping but it saves you a lot of money as well. This way everyone will get something without you having to buy gifts for everyone.
- Another great idea is Christmas karaoke. It is an excellent ice breaker for any type function and super fun! Select a couple of the guests to fulfill the role as judges who will be responsible of nominating a winner, second and third runner up. The host is responsible to buy three prize gifts for the winners.
