New Years is the perfect reason to throw a house party and to invite all your closest friends. You can party easy by having a few bottles of wine and champagne or you can party hard by entertaining with a beer pong and flip cup tournament.

If hosting a crazy New Years party with plenty of adult beverages is on the agenda it is best to have plenty of places for your friends to crash or multiple designated drivers established. The Beer Pong and Flip Cup games can often get rowdy so it is also good to have a judge monitoring each game for equality.

In the end you need to award your champions with Beer Pong Trophies or Flip Cup Trophies in honor of their domination over the other teams. These games and prizes are perfect to help pass the night away until the clock strikes midnight.

Every year my neighborhood has a Christmas decorating contest. All the parents with young kids get into it the most because, not only do they have the neighbors to please, they also have their little ones to please. It has become a great tradition in the town because every year someone completely surprises us with their creativity. Not only does it make a beautiful drive through the town it also brings everyone together to discuss the challenges they went through like adding the star to the chimney or the plastic Santa to the roof.

Every year the winners are awarded with a fun Christmas award to display in their home. Many keep their Christmas award out all year and others only display them around Christmas time to match the decor. The neat thing about this whole event is that it brings the community together in a fun competitive way. Once the Christmas season is over it is always sad to see the bare homes once again but excites you even more about the following year.
