Since we knew the party would last long into the night (til 3 a.m.) we decided to make it a pajama party. Pj's are the perfect attire for getting comfy and stuffing bellies. No discomfort from tightening waistbands as we spend hours downing cookies, candies and much more.
This is the invitation. The info was written in poem form, patterned after "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
Dessert is the same every year; Homemade hot chocolate with So-Good cookies. We added a twist to the cocoa this year by including a scoop of peppermint ice cream, turning it into a hot float. Everyone enjoyed their own personalized cup of creamy chocolate deliciousness. Didn't these mugs turn out cute?
The gift exchange is always a blast. I got pretty riled (light heartedly, of course) when I lost my much desired snowman pitcher and later the adorable santa candy dish. But in the end, I went home with a lovely platter, so all is well.
What a great group of gals!
We put up our feet and gabbed wildly, sometimes laughing til we cried. How often do moms get to enjoy that kind of fun til 3 a.m.? Christmas comes but once a year. Isn't it great? Totally worth the throbbing heachache and laryngitis I woke up with this morning.

What fun! I hope I make some good friends out here to do parties like that with.
Although, I can't for one second imagine you up until 3 am!
that looks like an absolute blast! and I must say that you look very cute in your festive pjs and slippers. I thought for sure the party was at your house until I looked closer. Don't you have that same sectional though? It was totally throwing me off until I saw the stockings in the background:)
Sounds like a fun time!
That was a lot of fun Tara, thanks for doing it.
It sure looks like everyone had a wonderful time.
What a great get-away for busy moms. No one deserves a good party like holiday-stressed moms.
Such a fun, festive, and well thought out evening.
Fun, Fun, Fun- too bad we have to pay for it the next day.
Looks like fun Tara. Isnt it nice to have such great girlfriends to spend time with?
That's my favorite thing too! It looks like fun!
Fun party. I can only imagine your disappointment about the mug. We all know the competitiveness in Tara :)
