1. Better Together Party
The holidays are great and all, but we moms have a lot of extra things to do. Invite your mom friends over for a “better together party” where you do those daunting holiday chores . . . together!
What better way to wrap presents, stuff and label holiday cards, bake and decorate cookies, and sort those pesky holiday to-dos than with friends?! The time goes faster when you make it fun, right?

2. Christmas Carol-oke
Break out the mic, and belt out those loved (and sometimes hated) Christmas carols — karaoke style. Sure, we may roll our eyes and complain about how long Christmas songs are on the radio and how annoying they can get, but let’s be real . . . they’re catchy and we can all (probably) sing every last word to all the popular ones. Plus, it’s always fun to sing as loud as you can with friends.
3. Comfort & Joy
Enjoy a simple evening filled with the comforts of home for a “comfort and joy” party. Don’t worry about cleaning the house or cooking a special meal or baking the best cookies.
Instead, channel all that energy to filling your home with friends and good food (preferably door-dashed). Invite your friends, as they are, to your home, as it is. If your house isn’t perfectly clean, chances are your guests will feel even more at home! Make it a potluck, add some board games, and bam! You have the comfort and joy of time spent with good friends.

4. Scrooge Party
From November through December, it’s all about the holidays. We’re prepping, planning, picking gifts, wrapping gifts, giving gifts, setting out holiday decor, baking, travel planning, and talking all things holiday.
It’s all too much, and we moms need a break; thus, the Scrooge party. Invite your mom friends over for a moms night in with one rule: No holiday talk! Make it even more fun by threatening rule breakers with the “ugly” holiday hat. Anyone who mentions anything about the holidays must wear the hat!

5. Worst Present Ever Party
We spend so much time looking for that perfect gift for our kids, our family, and our friends. Why not take the stress out of it and instead buy (or make) the worst gift ever to give. You can even do it white elephant style! Wrap those terrible gifts, place them under the tree. You’re bound to have some good laughs at these awful, terrible, no-good gifts.
