Squadron Christmas party ideas
Next week we will be having a family readiness meeting. One of the main topics will be the squadron's christmas party.
Last year's party was kinda boring, IMO. They had a few kiddie activities, such as face painting, moon jump, and Santa handed out small gifts. For the adults they had free 10 minute massages from a local rehab office and several gaming stations set up. We ate, got a massage and left.
This year will be different for us since we will have a 1 month old. (I'm still not sure if I'll even want to take the baby out.) But I do want to offer up some ideas.
So what I want to know is, what did/didn't y'all like from the Christmas parties y'all have attended? Anything stand out that really went over well?
I've only been to that one Christmas party, so I don't have anything to compare it to. Thats why I'm coming to y'all. Thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Squadron Christmas party ideas
I have not really attended company Christmas parties since like high school, so I dont really have a lot of advice
But... I think they should bring back the massages again! That sounds awesome
I changed my name
I hope they bring that back too. I'm sure that was a nice little break for the parents.
DH's squadron Christmas party is adults only, sort of. We trade off w/ another squadron, they watch our kiddos for our Christmas party and we do the same for them. The kids were in two rooms with age appropriate activities for them to do, and then they ended with a movie, to help the kids wind down before the parents came to get them.
The adults party was a buffet dinner, raffles/door prizes and random games (purse search, scavenger hunt, tacky sweater contest), and a dance floor. It was actually a fairly laid back thing, the booster club put it all together in a maintence bay, and it was a nice chance for us to just get caught up and visit.
Agreed. It's a bit frustrating when you are not Christian... And makes you feel really out of place. I was hoping to avoid this year's Christmas party, as I've got a December work trip, but DH has an FX that week, so they won't be holding it while I'm gone...
