I love putting together theme parties and have lots of fun with others in the past but this past weekend I got to throw a Blue Christmas.  We started with blue decorations and threw in some green, silver and gold.  We hung big blue, white and silver snowflakes from the ceiling and used all vintage turquoise and gold glasses.

On the menu, including other things were blueberry cream cheese coffee cake, proscuitto with bleu cheese and pears, blue corn chips and home made salsa, and cookies with blue sprinkles.  The ones pictured below are little mushroom meringues.

We served Blue Moon beer and Pabst Blue Ribbon and a cocktail called a Blue Moon that tasted like a creamsicle and served wine with blue labels and non-alcoholic drinks that were blue in color including  Frostie’s Blue Cream Soda.

There was a big bowl of blue candy!

We asked everyone to wear something blue and we made a playlist heavy on songs with the word blue in the title including “Blue” by Eiffel 65, “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” by Crystal Gayle, “Blue Moon” by Cowboy Junkies and “Blue Suede Shoes” by Elvis.  Of course we had at least 5 versions of “Blue Christmas” sung by Johnny Cash, Ann and Nancy Wilson and and Elvis.
