"Are you having a holiday party this year? As you may know, I love parties with a twist, so here&amp;#x27;s an idea for a fabulous soiree....This New Years, Alex and I are hosting a mac n&amp;amp;#8217; cheese tasting. Everyone has to bring their favorite version (breadcrumbs? ham? mushrooms? goat cheese?) and we&amp;#x27;ll have a taste-off. It&amp;#x27;s awesome to add some sort of theme to a party, since your guests get more excited and there&amp;#x27;s a built-in conversation topic. Plus, mac n&amp;#x27; cheese? YUM. I can&amp;#x27;t wait to taste all the different kinds. Also, a decor tip: We went to our friend&amp;#x27;s surprise birthday party this weekend, and his sister and girlfriend had put colorful balloons all over the floor. It was amazing to wade through them and dance among the balloons at your feet. It was a very inexpensive way to make the party seem awesome! What do you think? Will you be having a party? Have you gone to any good parties this holiday season? Do you like theme parties? What was the best party you ever went to? I&amp;#x27;d love to hear your party thoughts! P.S. Check out the photos from our 1930&amp;#x27;s theme party this October! And parties are always a great way to make more girl friends.... xoxo Photo: istock.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
