We have two extremes when it comes to holiday parties. We have the preschool Happy Birthday Jesus parties where it is all about the true meaning of Christmas and you cannot mention Santa, yet you can still pass out homemade treats to your little friends. Then we have the elementary school "holiday" parties where you cannot say the word Christmas and everything has to be store bought and it's very generic. Can't we all just get along and talk about whatever holiday we celebrate and tell about what we asked Santa for? Can't we all just get along?
Just kidding.
Will's Happy Birthday Jesus party was very cute. We have some room moms this year who are ON TOP OF IT! Everything is decorated, personalized and done with flair. Even the water bottles are decorated. It makes me feel like such a slacker because a) I am not a room mom this year and b) I can barely make it to the party on time. And don't get me started on my child's attire! He is only 4 and I have already lost the spirit of making sure he has a shirt for every holiday. The girls wouldn't be let out of this house without the cutest holiday shirt and matching bow and then there's their brother at the Happy Birthday Jesus party in a monster t-shirt. A MONSTER T-SHIRT! For goodness sake!

Check out the cute candy cane decorated like a reindeer that a sweet little girl passed out to all of her friends. I think I passed out something similar about 8 years ago. Now I am just lucky if I can recognize the faces of the kids in his room. I used to know all of the kid's name and parent's names. My how times have changed.
Time for some games!
The water bottle with "flair"
Time for a yummy red velvet HOMEMADE cupcake. Enjoy it, buddy. Next year is when the individually wrapped and store bought goodness begins!
Good stuff! He could not get enough.
I love these homemade little crafts that they always make. They are some of my favorite things to pull out every year and put up on the tree!
Time for a little book exchange. It was about 3 minutes into this that someone mentioned that THREE kids had gone home on party day from vomiting. I could not get out of there fast enough. We grabbed our stuff and got out of that germ infested room! Merry Christmas!
