T he good results of this type of party are well worth the extra effort in preparation. Around The World Select four homes and have them decorated in the theme of a foreign land. The interesting places might be Hawaii, Japan, Italy, and Mexico. Assemble at the church and travel by bus or caravan to the first land. Here you will be greeted with Hawaiian music and decorations, flower or crepe paper leis are hung around your neck and you watch a travel film of the beautiful islands. To conclude your stay, you enjoy some poi and pine apple salad. Take your shoes off before you enter the next home. This is Japan. The hostess, wearing a kimono, may seat you on the floor and teach you to eat with chopsticks. The Japanese decorations, music, and burning in cense will give the feeling of being in Japan. Next, the group will stop in Italy. I t a l i a n folklore, humorous stunts, and games, along with spa ghetti and meat balls or pizza pie, will make this a happy visit. Some music of the great Italian masters should also be enjoyed. The last stop in our “Around the World” social will be Mexico. Dressed in Mexican garb the hdst may direct in some Mexican games, including the break ing of the pinata. A pinata is a clay vessel filled with candies. In our case we can use a heavy bag painted or decorated. The pinata is suspended on a rope about eight feet high and blind-folded batters are given three swings, each trying to break the object with a long stick. When the pinata is broken, the entire group can scramble for the candy. After singing some familiar Mexican songs, deli cacies like tacos, tamales or tortillas and beans might be served. The eve ning can be concluded with a mis sionary challenge. Other interesting places that might be visited would be Paris, China, Sweden and many others. The entire social should last about two and one half hours. A Dreamer's Holiday Again, we select four homes, but now we decorate them in the flavor
of a Holiday. These can be Easter, Christmas, Halloween, and New Years. As with the “Around the World” party, we meet at the church and caravan from home to home cele brating various holidays. Decorated in orange and black, with noise makers and masks, the folks can enjoy typical Halloween games like apple dunking or a pie eating contest. A ghost story can be heard before going to the next home. Participation in an egg hunt, singing Easter songs, and hearing again the wonderful Easter story would be our second holiday. The next stop is Christmas, and here we can have the exchange of inexpensive gifts. Christ mas games, carols, a tree and decora tions will add fun to the party. Our last celebration in our “ Dreamer’s Holiday” will be New Years. Fun songs and games around a fire place and a watch night service can bring the “New Year” in with a spiritual challenge. Refreshments for this social can be served by having a salcid at the first home, soup at the second, a main course at the third and dessert at New Year’s. Or, Thanksiving can be the second holiday and a turkey dinner may be served with only a light snack for the last stop.
