The real list of things to do.

1.) I do want to print up fliers. NOT A LOT. But there are people from work that I want to invite, and I can't find them on facebook or myspace, so this is the easiest way to invite them.
a.] Um, what's your address?

2.) We need to set up a budget. There's no way we're not going to spend money: food, drinks, decorations. But we should put a reasonable cap on it. How does 80 dollars sound?
Maybe Joe or Paul or someone might be willing to help chip in and help with the party set-up?

3.) We need to set up a menu. I don't want this be a full blown, sit-down dinner party. But we should know what we're serving ahead of time. My ideas:
cheese spread
fruits
assorted nuts
Your typical cocktail party foods. Nothing heavy in the stomach. Nothing that makes a huge mess. Anything else?
Some kind of Christmas cookie/candy selection?

4.) The liquor situation. I mean, yeah, I want to serve booze. Hell I want to have a few rounds myself. *But I don't want to have people falling down, puking, acting like a mess* Especially in your house - ESPECIALLY IN YOUR PARENTS' HOUSE. So maybe we shouldn't go too heavy duty on the hard liquor. Maybe we could have:
A good assortment of beers. (Winter Lager, Bass, Blue Moon)
Maybe like a rum-fruit punch drink. Something in a punch bowl, with a ladle and the mugs from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Egg nog? (non-alcholic or alcoholic?)
A non-liquor based drink (hot apple cider?)
Some sodas?

And I guess if people want something else to drink, we indicate that they bring it themselves?

5.) Facebook, myspace invites. I want to make those up and send those out by tomorrow.

6.) Decorations. Like I said, I want Christmas lights set up indoors. I want the fire going. We need to buy/wear really tacky Christmas sweaters from the salvation army.
