Everyday Celebrating: Girls Night In!

The weather may be dreary or cold, but the Christmas lights are cheery so it's the perfect time to invite girlfriends over for a fun night of wrapping gifts! Now is the time of year that everyone has some wrapping to do and why not invite a few friends over to share in the fun. It doesn't take a lot to create this fun night. Ask each person to bring a couple rolls of wrapping paper or ribbon/embellishments. You supply the tape and scissors and refreshments. With everyone bringing wrapping paper, you're guaranteed an assortment of festive papers under the tree. Then when guests arrive, turn on some holiday music or a Lifetime/Hallmark holiday movie as your background and enjoy the evening with friends while marking something off your holiday to do list.
