December Birthdays!

Those born in December will tell you that they are a forgotten group with all the excitement of the holidays they are lucky to even get a birthday card. Well this weekend I did a birthday party for a 7 year old girl and we wanted to mix the holiday feel with the birthday celebration.
There were 20 seven year olds at the party with the theme of the party being "Santa's Village". We figured why fight the holidays let's work with it. I rented children size tables and chairs and each child had their own gingerbread house to decorate and a Christmas ornament to make. I hired a Santa elf who did face painting and made animal balloons and a Christmas Fairy who did a magic show. Once all the activities were done birthday cake was served. So if you have a child with a December birthday it can be unique as you celebrate the birthday as well as the season!
