We all want to create special holiday memories for our children especially since it's only a matter of time before they stop 'believing.' But when it comes to Christmas parties for your children, does your 'Ho! Ho! Ho!' sound more like 'Bah, Humbug?' Don't lose the spirit of the season. Remember: Even Scrooge eventually realized the error of his ways! When it comes to throwing Christmas parties, party planner and author Wilhelminia Ripple insists, 'No more fussing, no more headaches. It couldn't be easier.' This may sound too much like Santa magic, but don't lose your childlike will to believe just yet. With a little elf-like innovation and planning, you can create a party that captures all the magic of the season without adding to your holiday stress. Ripple's award-winning What Do I Do?® series has been helping parents and teachers throw unique and memorable parties for years. Her latest title, Christmas Parties...What Do I Do?® is loaded with advice, recipes, and activities for Christmas parties that sparkle. --Susan Bouse, Make Holiday Party Magic for Your Kids, CRIB NOTES MAGAZINE, Kalamazoo, Michigan, November/December 2000

I bought this book hoping that it would have some fresh ideas for my kids' class parties instead of the same old games and crafts we've been doing it seems year after year. I was worried that even if it had new ideas they might be too invovled/time-consuming for the hour and a half we typically have for the whole party. I was pleasantly surprised that this book had so many ideas to choose from that were original and fit into our limited time frame. I highly recommend this book.

This book has Christmas Spirit on every page, with holiday games,crafts, and goodies from all around the world. It really brings out the child inside us all. With an added bonus of 13 pages for New Years Eve. I am a Parent and Day Care Provider, to me this book is as much a part of Christmas as the Tree.
