A Theme is always necessary in my Book

Whenever someone says let's do this or let's have a party, I automatically follow-up with what theme should we have?

If I had it my way, I'd give each day of the week a theme. They are that much fun. And I am that much obsessed.

This year, I am hosting our family's annual Christmas Eve party. For the first time ever.
Now that we have our own home and it's big enough to hold the entire family (close to 30), I called dibs.

And since it's my home, it's my party.
Well, I did allow the family to have some say.  :)


I knew I wanted it to be more Jingle Bell Rock than Silent Night.
The others agreed.

In the end, this is what we came up with:

Can you guess the theme?

I am so excited! I made the invitation today and emailed it out to all my peeps. On the second part of the invitation I added the list of things that everyone was requested to bring (some based on the movie and some based on what we know they can cook!)

I know, I know.... We still need to tackle Thanksgiving.
Don't worry - I have that theme all figured out.

But more on that later!!
