We have a Christmas party every year for the kid's friends and my wife's colleagues and their children. It started a few years ago when my wife's employer no longer had a family holiday party. We picked up the torch and continued, and although it's a ton of work, it's a blast.
This year we had 67 kids, and probably 200 people overall. Santa shows up and gives all the kids a gift whether they're good on that particular day or not. He's preceded by a chorus of however many kids we have in attendance signing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". That's one of the best sounds I've ever heard.
By 9pm or so we're usually left with the cool adults and it turns into a nice time with good conversation that you can actually hear.
