Christmas Alcove Naughty or Nice Party!

Our outdoor alcove turns into a magical holiday room every year. It is fun to decorate up the tiny little space differently each year and create a theme. That year we had a Naughty or Nice Party!

All of these friends we've known for many years through a networking group. We're all still close to this day. And that's a Christmas Gift that keeps on giving!

Naughty or Nice? Where did that come from? I just happened to find little glittery cosmetic bags for all the ladies that said NAUGHTY on one side and NICE on the other side. Then I found little black gloves for the gals with sparking diamond hearts. They loved both of their gifts! And watching their antics going back and forth with their naughty or nice poses was fun for all!

Listen to the laughter and fun......can you hear it!!

Anna,

What a creative idea for a Christmas gathering! This sounds like great fun. Perhaps next year we can do this is our families in Denver and Minnesota. A

Hi Sharon Lee it was so much fun at the alcove dinner. But honestly they've all been fun. The gal holding the naughty purse will be here for dinner. Can't wait to see her.

Hi Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR when we bought this home we'd knew it was the perfect setting to host many events for our networks, friends and clients. That proved to be true for many years. We miss everyone this year. And we look forward to hosting again soon.

Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE® what's nice about the alcove is it's kind of like a tiny French patio, so intimate! We've had it decorated in many themes....all fun.

OMG Ron and Alexandra Seigel in MN next winter? It's below zero there today! I don't think I'd be hosting any parties outdoors there! My brother Paul called me this morning and said he had to cancel his outdoor BBQ. Jokester he is!

Denver....might work!!! Good luck!

I would love to talk the MN contingent to come here instead, as well as the Denver contingent. We usually have Thanksgiving in Denver, but have not been for a while now...Ron, Mr. California native is shivering at the thought...Will have to think that one over. A

Oh, you can decorate that space for any and every holiday season and never have the same theme, Anna! I love it! What a cool space and I know you're so glad you have that 'fun' space.

And, YES, I hear it - and I'm smiling now, knowing every single guest had a marvelous time with you & Gary!

Hi Debe Maxwell, CRS it's a unique tucked away little space that has been so welled used for so many different events. Everyone seems to love being in there no matter what event we're hosting! It's funny we could have 50 people attending and instead of being on the patios out in back - yup - half of them are in the alcove!
