Mission Inn Festival of Lights

Rating: You Should Go

This was the first year I had heard about the Festival of Lights at Mission Inn, so I really wanted to check them out.  I had been to the Mission Inn twice before - once to get ready for a wedding and once just for fun because the place is so beautiful.  My next visit was very different

Party Idea #4: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Martian-mallow

B-movies are a favorite of ours.  We love to watch them and make fun of them ourselves, or watch them with RiffTrax and laugh along with the commentary.  Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is one such movie that we found while watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for us geeks) that has become a Christmas tradition in our house.  We choose to watch it with the MST3K commentary, but it's also ridiculous just on its own.

We decided just to make this party a dessert get-together
