ROOM MOM: Christmas Party

I am room mom for both my son's this year. One is in middle school and one is in the lower elementary grades. I am trying to compile some ideas that are low stress and just plain fun so that we all can enjoy the party without too many "rules". Here are a few things I have come up with, but I think in the end I am just going to have my older son's class just "hang out" and maybe do the pictionary game if they aren't too cool.... :)

Shaving Cream and Glue Snowmans+ 2nd Graders= A Winter Wonderland Masterpiece! I saw this cute idea over at Homemaking Fun who was inspired by a tutorial at KrafyKid.
