I am beyond stressed. I have 2 sick kids and half my guests have canceled on me because of the threat of snow tomorrow! Looks like it may only be a few of us :(

I bought some dish towels, kitchen tools and a Rachel Ray paring knife to give away as door prizes. Now I just need to think of some ways to distribute them (games, etc.)...any ideas?

GREAT package! I can't believe all of the CDs included! I'm thinking of doing a prize drawing at the party for the CDs and also the recipe tin. I love that we have so many goodies to give out to the guests!

I was very pleased with this host package - thank you House Party! I can really put together a great party for my guests and they will surely enjoy their goodies. My moms group has a lot of crafty moms so we are getting together to make activity Christmas chain links for our kids. We can enjoy the holiday music while we craft and everyone will bring a favorite holiday dish to share!

I am excited. I want to come up with some games for the party, and do prizes. I pulled the music lyric one off of party favors. I think I will make up some puzzles such as word finds, scrambles, etc. also. I might come up with a holiday game as well. You wrap a gift several time. You then play music and everyone passes the gift around. When the music stops, that person unwraps a layer of paper. Repeate the steps all over again. Whoever unwraps the last layer, gets the present. If anyone has other ideas, please let me know.

I got my package today! This is the best ever! Kraft foods is the best! I think I'm gonna make gift bags with the extra stuff for everyone. I'm gonna make stuff based on the cards that my guests are getting. We are having dinner and everyone is bringing food and I'll do dessert and appetizers with my cream cheese of course!

I am putting all my "goodies " in large holiday oven mits I found at the Dollar Store.Each guest will receive one filled with the coupons, recipe cards, etc. I also picked up some rubber spatulas and other cooking and baking essentials and tied red and green ribbons around them to go inside.

Got my package yesturday, but still haven't figured out how to give out all the goodies! I like the stocking idea, but does anyone have any other ideas on what to put all the coupons and books in (looking for something not to expensive)? I work with most of my guests, so we drew recipes from the recipe tin and whatever we picked, we have to make. I can't wait to try everyting!

I just got my package today and am so excited now! I am going to try and have a couple Christmas decorations out. Was thinking of getting a couple ornaments for gifts to go along with the WONDERFUL Christmas cds we get to listen to while creating.

This is going to be a lot of fun!

I like the ideas about collecting for the local food bank at this party. It's a great way to help out those in need while we're partying it up.

There are so many receipes that contain cream cheese, I can't deciede what to make!!
I'm excited to see all the recipes in the package. I'm so tired of bringing the same dishes to holiday parties. It's time for some variety. I'm happy the package is shipping so far ahead of time. It will give me some extra time to figuire out the food and decorations. I'm still not sure how to decorate. I thought about putting up some xmas decorations to set the mood along with the decorations but I think my husband will have a cow if xmas stuff goes up before Thanksgiving!

Can't wait to test the recipe, cause we love cream cheese in our house! Don't know many of my guests that DON'T enjoy the MANY essences of cream cheese!!

WOW! Can't wait to get the package. The recipes will certainly come in handy with the holiday season approaching fast.

Thanks so much.

I had a good idea. Not only do I want guests to bring an unwrapped toy to donate, but I thought it would be nice to give them the option too to bring some non-perishable foods to donate to the local food bank. Our local food bank also accepts coats, mittens, gloves and boots, so I asked that they bring any they might have and I could drop them off with any food donations too.

What foods have people decided to make? I'm still up in the air. There are so many awesome recipes using the Philly Cream Cheese that it's hard to narrow it down! LOL!!!

Cheese Cheese and more cheese. I am planning on having a "try it before the holiday" party where everyone can bring a new cheese recipe to try on each other before trying it on their relatives. Anyone know when the package is to arrive?
