I have a small party every year on the last day the kids are here, and I give them a gift. My big party is always on a weekend, I used to do it in my house, but I don't want to this year. I have way more kids and the kids have siblings, it's going to be bigger than last year's. I don't do much for the party though. Just some treats and fruit and veggie trays. I buy books for each kid from Santa, and with a large number of kids, I'm guessing it will be quite time consuming. By the time the kid gets brave enough to go visit, and get their present, and get their picture taken, that might be half of the party.
