However, as one can imagine, the same go-to party themes become stale if revisited too often, so last year, we took a bit of extra initiative and went in a different direction for our Christmas party. After conducting some research, I landed on the idea of throwing an 80s-themed murder mystery party, and I must admit, it was the best party we have ever thrown.
If you are looking to celebrate the holidays differently this year, I created a list of all I learned to help you take the guesswork out of planning so you can enjoy the experience fully. Happy Holidays!

As I take in rows of colorful jars ornately decorating this bookshelf, I wholeheartedly agree. They are gorgeous and as significant as any piece of art. I zoom in on the picture to better see what was gathered and preserved when I think back to my grandmother’s house and the space she created to house all of the fruits of her gains from that season’s harvest.
