A Christmas Story Themed Holiday Party

1/15/2018

 
Picture

Ooooohhh Fuuuuddddgggee!  We don’t like it when we have to pack up all things magical and twinkly after Christmas and New Year’s is over.  

Lucky for us, our clients at Blue Federal Credit Union like to prolong the good cheer and fun by hosting their employee holiday party in early January! 

Picture

The Christmas spirit was extended into early January with Blue’s holiday party, built around the storyline from the classic holiday tale - A Christmas Story!  Guests were transported back to a simpler time with specialized photobooth backdrops, food, and decor reminiscent of Ralphie’s childhood home in the 1950’s.

The Marriott Fort Collins hosted us again and tables were decorated with kitchen colanders in honor of Mother Parker’s holiday culinary feats, Red Ryder BB guns, and of course, the famous “Fragile” Leg Lamps. The only thing missing was a bar serving large glasses of Ovaltine!  (Note - there were three open bars for the guests to imbibe from!)

The evening was full of fellowship between all the various bank branches, company recognitions and awards, and of course dancing!  Music and emceeing was provided by our favorite entertainer - DJ Kaaos!  Activities also included a costume contest, and door prize drawings for all of the table centerpieces.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!

11/27/2017

 
Back by popular demand!
Picture

When the holidays draw near, do you feel the need to reach for a beer?
The relatives are in town, and you are putting in your time with the family...

Well, spike that egg nog, Sparky, grab your favorite moose mug, and play My Big Day's "Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!"


What you will need for this game: an beer, eggnog, wine, or your drink of choice, a santa hat & a single shot of your choice (perhaps a lime jello shot topped with cat food).
My Big Day Drinking Rules:

Take One Drink Every Time...
  • Ellen calls Clark "Sparky"
  • Someone is wearing an ugly holiday sweater
  • There is singing or bells shaking
  • The swimming pool is referenced
  • Clark is wearing a sports team article of clothing

Additional Rules:
  • The entire group takes a drink whenever an advent calendar door is opened.
  • You must yell “Shitter’s Full!” any time you leave to use the restroom, otherwise you must finish your beer when you return.
  • The first person to say “Get me somebody! And get me somebody while I'm waiting!” when Frank Shirley appears on screen for the first time chooses a person to finish their drink.
  • The first person to stand up & fully complete the “knock on the door, peek in…” correctly WITH hand gestures during that scene gives two drinks.
  • At any point in the movie, you can point to someone & yell "RUSS!" If they do not respond with "Right here, dad" they must take a drink (max once per person, this could get out of control).
  • Anytime someone misquotes a line in the movie, they have to wear the Santa hat until it gets passed to the next person.
  • When the movie is over, the last person wearing the Santa hat has to shotgun a beer & finish by saying “Ahh, It’s good, It’s good. It’s good.”

Best of all, their packages are easy to read - very straight forward. We think you'll find them very easy to work with!

Mad Men Themed Corporate Holiday Party

1/12/2017

 
My Big Day was honored to yet again host Blue Federal Credit Union's annual holiday party! This year they chose a Mad Men theme, which we had a blast planning and executing!
Picture
This years' party was hosted at the Fort Collins Marriott.  Our centerpieces were ornate art deco lamps, retro decanters, and period appropriate picture frames with banking ads from the 1960's.

The customized playlist by MC and DJ, Robert Krueger, consisted of classic 1960's tunes and holiday music.

Blue celebrated their 400+ guests with an award presentation. Their "Blunder Award" ceremony was a huge hit!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!

12/1/2016

 
Picture
When the holidays draw near, do you feel the need to reach for a beer?

The relatives are in town, and you are putting in your time with the family...

Well, spike that egg nog, Sparky, grab your favorite glass moose mug, and play My Big Day's "Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!"


What you will need for this game:  beer, eggnog, wine, or your drink of choice, a santa hat & a single shot of your choice (perhaps a lime jello shot topped with cat food).

Picture
Picture
Picture
My Big Day Drinking Rules:


Take One Drink Every Time...
  • Ellen calls Clark "Sparky"
  • Someone is wearing an ugly holiday sweater
  • There is singing or bells shaking
  • The swimming pool is referenced
  • Clark is wearing a sports team article of clothing


Additional Rules:
  • The entire group takes a drink whenever an advent calendar door is opened.
  • You must yell “Shitter’s Full!” any time you leave to use the restroom, otherwise you must finish your beer when you return.
  • The first person to say “Get me somebody! And get me somebody while I'm waiting!” when Frank Shirley appears on screen for the first time chooses a person to finish their drink.
  • The first person to stand up & fully complete the “knock on the door, peek in…” correctly WITH hand gestures during that scene gives two drinks.
  • At any point in the movie, you can point to someone & yell "RUSS!" If they do not respond with "Right here, dad" they must take a drink (max once per person, this could get out of control).
  • Anytime someone misquotes a line in the movie, they have to wear the Santa hat until it gets passed to the next person.
  • When the movie is over, the last person wearing the Santa hat has to shotgun a beer & finish by saying “Ahh, It’s good, It’s good. It’s good.”
Remember, "Lots of Liquor Make the Holidays Go Quicker!"
* A special thank you to all the versions of this drinking game that exist on the web that allowed us to customize our own--- we appreciate everyone's spirit and love for this movie! : The black sheep online, funtrivia, christmasvacationdrinkinggame.com, drinkinggames.com, poptrivia, pophangover, littlebabygarvin, etc...

Blessing Bags for the Homeless

11/28/2016

 
For most of us, this time of year is the time we reflect on how grateful we are to be alive, healthy, surrounded by family, etc.
Most of us have a lot to be thankful for.  As such, it has always been important to us to give to others.  We donate to many charities throughout the year, fundraise through some of our events, and consciously give clothing to homeless shelters and women's housing.

At Christmas time we like to make up a handful of  'Blessing Bags' and keep them in our car.
When we see a homeless person on the side of the road, we can easily hand the a blessing bag that contains many of the items folks need who don't have a place to call home.
Below is our list of items we like to include in our Blessing Bags:
Picture
Blessing Bag List:
  • Wipes
  • Granola Bars
  • Soap
  • Razor
  • Mints
  • Lotion
  • Shampoo
  • Warm Socks
  • Sewing kit
  • Paper
  • Pens/Markers
  • Chapstick
  • Hair ties/Bobby pins
  • Spoon
  • Feminine Hygiene items
  • Qtips
  • Gift Cards
  • Napkins
  • Bandaids
  • A Sweet Treat

* A bottle of water is also a great addition!

A Christmas Story Drinking Game

12/23/2015

 
We've noticed that our followers really appreciate game ideas... especially drinking game ideas.
Since our "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Drinking Game" post is so popular, we decided to add on "A Christmas Story Drinking Game" for those of you looking to add some variety to your regular holiday program viewing!

Picture

A Christmas Story Drinking Game

Rules:  Party safe, try to place with drinks that don't have super high alcohol content!  (You will be drinking a lot this game!)  To pad your stomach prior to playing, kudos to the host for providing some "Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double-beatloaf."
Drink every time:
  • The words "Red Ryder" are mentioned
  • "Christmas" is said
  • "You'll shoot your eye out" is said
  • Ralphie fantasizes 
  • Santa is on screen
  • A Christmas carol is played 
  • Ralpie's brother cries 
  • Someone quotes the movie 
  • Ralphie's mother appears to be intoxicated.
  • Anyone curses/swears with gibberish!

Finish your drink:
  • When the lamp arrives
  • When a Triple Dog Dare occurs 
  • Ralphie shoots his eye out 

Group Rules:
  • Everyone must yell "Oh Fuuuuudge" every time someone exits the bathroom while playing.
  • Bonus: If anyone can hold a bar of soap in their mouth for 1 minute, they can assign drinks to anyone else throughout the game!
  • Together the group must sing, "Deck the harrs with boughs of horry, fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra" at the right point in the movie.
Enjoy!
