if your child has a birthday close to Christmas, it's difficult to know whether to embrace Christmas theme or to avoid it all together at the party.
If you decide to go all out for a Christmas theme, then here are some ideas.
Instead of the traditional party games, why not pin a red nose onto Rudolph instead of a nameless donkey? Or, if all you can find is a donkey, tell them it's the same donkey that carried Mary and Joseph!
Of course if you're doing a pass the parcel, ensure it's in Christmas paper and that Christmas music is played.

Christmas crafts can be a great idea too.
How about a flying visit from Santa to give out party bags? Ebay have a good collection of Santa suits for most budgets..... but persuading someone to be Santa might be the biggest challenge! Ensure it's someone that the children won't know to make it truly magical!
