[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because my kids have food allergies and can't eat the party food. Because I generally think class parties are completely useless and a waste of time. I don't recall having class parties as a kid (other than Valentine's boxes) and have no idea why every tiny thing has to be celebrated with a party and food.[/quote] +1 We each brought in a tissue box to decorate as our Valentine mailbox over the course of week before the party. The party consisted of “delivering” the Valentines you brought, then opening and reading the ones you got. Oh, and using the temporary tattoos and stickers while eating any accompanying candy. Christmas was a secret Santa exchange. The party started with everyone writing one last note to their person to go with the ONE gift (under $5!), then finding their person and giving them the gift and note. After 2-3 weeks of sending notes and trying to figure out who was sending us notes, it was great. Pictures in k, instead of notes. Nothing for Thanksgiving. Halloween was dressing all day (Friday) in the costume, then going trick or treating that night. No other parties that I remember. Birthdays were 5 minutes at the end of the day. Pass out a cupcake, sing Happy Birthday, go home.[/quote]
