I'm turning 12 soon and I'm planning to do a simple birthday party. The theme is going to be Christmas Starters or something like that. DECORATIONS: I'm going to have blue and white and red and green. Mostly streamers and baloons and pictures of Santa Clause and raindeers and snowmen and christmas trees and whatever my imaganation brings up. FOOD: Gingerbread, candy and these traditional (of Finland) kind of buns wich contain really sweet grape jelly. I'm still planning my food but my cake is going to be a cream cake with a marzipan mistletoe with the writing : Merry X-mas (let's just see how it turns up, but it is one of my best cake ideas..). EXTRA HELP: I think I'm going to ask help from three of my friends who live near by to come over time and help me decide what to do and help in the decorations. GAMES: I'm not that sure about yet, but all these traditional games as, wrap the mummy (only i'm going to switch ot to wrap the snowman!). 2! pass the parcel. Inside I'll have christmas themed stuff and candy canes and stickers of snowflakes or so in the layers.  3! Then we will be Who am I? It is a game where you first write a popular movie/cartoon character and stick it into each others backs and then walk around and ask everyone questions like: Do i have red her? but the rule is that you can only answer yes or no.  4! Then as the guests come in I will have a quiz about me! with let's say 5-8 questions. 5! Then the main game is decorate the gingerbread. It is a game I made up. Everyone has to make 2-3 gingerbreads, put them into the oven and as they come we go into pairs and it will be fun todecorate the gingerbread. One of your gingerbreads will be the special gingerbread. First you do one thing wich decorates the gingerbread and give it to your pair and she does one thing and when their ready it will be fun to look at it! LEAVING: When the guests leave I'm going to give out party bags with the theme christmas. Also I'm going to give prizes for the winners and I thought of an award for everyone. If your birthday is in late November- early December, it is a good thing to do a starting christmas birthday party. I think it's going to be real much fun!!!
