50's Christmas Party for
Adults
by Della in West Virginia
Seven of us Brothers and Sisters and their spouses, have
a Christmas Party every year. To keep the party fresh, we
thought a Theme would be different. We sing a little,
tell a funny story or two, have a covered dish dinner and
exchange a $3.00 gag gift - of course - it is more
interesting if the Hostess pulls off a surprise such as I
did :) SANTA APPEARED and distributed little special
gifts from me. Was a great success, as Santa was not
expected and the guests really were shocked and had a
time figuring out that it was my son.
Invitation: Any of these could be hand
made (as there was no computers in the fifty's and very
little money for store bought invitations.)
Coke coaster emblem
