Adult themed Christmas Party?

[Anonymous]

Okay, wtf did I get myself into? So we moved across the country and got settled into our new house about a month ago. Neighbors seem really nice - they're all retired or empty nesters (we're not but we have no children). Got an invite a few weeks ago for a neighborhood Christmas party that's tonight 12/20 and I RSVP'd us 'yes' without looking at the invite in more detail - and that's totally my fault. Essentially, I just read the first line to bring a dish to share or dessert, which I am doing. I happened to look at the e-vite again this afternoon and scrolling down, it says 'no children due to adult themes, language and possible nudity.) And you're encouraged to wear an ugly Christmas sweater.

Nudity?? At a Christmas party? This whole thing doesn't seem to be my vibe - or DH's. We hardly know these people and even if we did, I am just not into this kind of thing, whatever it may be.

Party starts at 7 tonight. What do you think this entails? This could be that they have a tendency to use foul language after a few drinks and just don't want kids there?

Frankly, I would rather just lay on the couch tonight and watch Hallmark movies, especially after reading more into the invite. I'm not a party person and neither is DH. I also tend to be quiet at these kinds of things, especially when I don't know anyone. Looks like 60 people RSVP'd yes.

I'd go and leave early if it gets crazy, but I'm guessing that line was a joking way to say no, we really don't want kids here. You'll either have fun or a good story!

I think they just really, really don't want to be responsible for kids, so they put that line in there because there are people who will bring kids otherwise.

OP. Ahh, you know, I didn't even think of that. That's definitely a good way to put it if they really dont want children at the party!

Maybe there’s skinny dipping in the pool or hot tub?

I don't think a nekkid party would suggest ugly sweaters. It's a joke.

Adult themed sounds like exchanging gifts from Le Tache.

I interpet that as they are hard drinkers and rowdy so no kids. And I hate the ugly Christmas sweaters. I'd pass because that's not my scene but I don't think it means anything sexual.

Skip if you don't want to go.

If 60 people said yes, you definitely won't be missed.

I'd guess that they're being sarcastic about the nudity but 100% serious about not wanting children there. In any event, go find out and report back to us.

Yeah that's how I would take it as well. I'm picturing the type of parties I went to in my early 20s, which definitely wouldn't have been kid appropriate.

When I commit to something, I go. But, if I had discovered last minute that the invite was no kids because possibly nudity, I think I would suddenly come down with a cold. Don't want to spread germs this close to Christmas. The only other options seem to be go and see what happens this one time or ask another neighbor that you might be friendly with if it is a joke.

Which Subreddit did you steal this from? Is it a porno treatment?
