The night before Christmas Eve is on a Sunday so I would go with the night before that. A Saturday Christmas party would be best. Serve pumpkin pie, chocolate cake, punch and wine (beer maybe?), Christmas music, put white lights around any stair cases and buffet tables. Have a small table set up for crafts for the little ones (a few green wreaths and ribbon and glitter glue for decorations), Christmas charades would be a fun game to play for the adults (they can pick christmas movie's/songs/places to act out, out of a bucket)

If you search for bowtie christmas party games on google or yahoo you should get to a bowtieproducts site that will give you 4 new original games that will help make your nite fun.
Some of the games especially Sandys Christmas Carol game can be adjusted for nearly any age 8 and up.
For parties mixers like this work because they give folks something to do while they get warmed up to each other. if they want to talk, they can talk, but if conversatrion lags games like these take up the awkward silences that many of us dread.
Whats nice is that people don't all have to be in it to enjoy it. Some can just help out if asked or enjoy the groans of the answer section.
If links work in the answer blocks here's the link

there is also some party giving advice you may enjoy.
My wife and I made up the puzzles and many people really enjoy them.
I hope they work out well for you

Both Christmas Day and Christmas Eve are usually spent with family. Usually friends parties are held on the weekends before. Late afternoon or early evening. If the kids are all under 4 you probably won't be able to play many things with him. Maybe a childrens movie or something like that to keep them busy.

Hi, I think games like Charades, Karaoke, and Pictionary are always fun. And if you have photo albums with pictures of some of your guests, you should leave them around the tables too for them to look through and reminisce. Two years ago when we had our christmas party, I had the movie Christmas Vacation playing low on the tv in the background ~ which help break up any lulls. And good x-mas music always puts people in a festive mood. Have fun!!
