When it comes to Christmas in Australia, I’ve learned that the key to a memorable celebration is choosing a great party theme. Over the years, we’ve hosted everything from backyard BBQs to elegant long-table dinners, and every time, having a theme has made it that little bit more special (and fun!).
I absolutely love to decorate for the season. Whether it’s hanging fairy lights under the patio, setting the table with a splash of colour, or popping novelty hats on every dinner plate, I always find little ways to tie our chosen theme into the celebration. One year we did a Winter Wonderland (complete with fake snow and silver stars) even though it was 35°C outside. Another year we went full Aussie Christmas: seafood, cricket in the yard, and Santa hats with swimmers!
I’ve come to realise that you don’t need to spend a fortune or get overwhelmed with planning. Sometimes it’s as simple as asking everyone to wear a certain colour, putting on a themed movie in the background, or playing a Christmas playlist that matches the vibe. Even dinner feels more festive when the decorations and theme tie everything together.
In this article, I’ve pulled together some of my favourite Christmas party themes. These ideas suit our Aussie climate, laid-back style, and love for a good get-together. From dress-ups to dinner parties, family fun to grown-up glamour, there’s something here for every kind of Christmas host.
So if you’re planning a party this year and want to make it stand out, come with me as we explore all the best ways to decorate, celebrate, and enjoy Christmas in Australia. Whether it’s July or December, there’s always a good reason to throw a festive party!
10 Workplace Christmas Party Themes
From relaxed barbecues to glamorous casino nights, here are ten workplace Christmas party themes that give everyone something to enjoy beyond awkward small talk near the cheese platter.
1. Christmas ugly sweater party
An ugly sweater theme is also a Christmas classic. As Christmas outfit theme ideas go, it’s one of the easiest to achieve too. It’s not too big an ask to expect your guests to buy a Christmas jumper. Many people will have one already. If not, they could even borrow it, or even buy one at the local op shop.
A virtual ugly Christmas sweater party is also among the best virtual Christmas party themes. When you’re taking part in a social gathering on Zoom, Facetime or Teams, all you really see someone’s face and what top they’re wearing.
This is a top choice, whether you’re looking for adult Christmas party themes, or when you’re hosting a kids’ bash. It’s also a great last minute option, as a Christmas top is not too hard to come by.

2. A Great Gatsby Christmas party
Why not throw a vintage Christmas party harking back to the 1920s? The era of jazz and the Charleston gives people of all ages the chance to don a flapper dress and headband to reflect the era’s stunning and iconic style.
As work Christmas party themes go, this is one of the more inventive. It also allows people to see each other as they never have before. If you like to go glam, then this is surely the perfect Christmas party theme for you.
Old fashioned Christmas party ideas allow hosts and guests alike to experience the music, romance and elegance of the bygone art deco era. Pop some jazz on the stereo, display your most elegant decorations, don your flapper dress and you’re all set, F. Scott Fitzgerald style. There’s a Baz Luhrmann movie adaptation from 2013 you could play too.

3. An Aussie Christmas BBQ
An Aussie Christmas BBQ is one of the easiest workplace Christmas party themes to pull off. We already know our December weather is far better suited to sizzling sausages than roasting chestnuts, so lean into it.
Find a venue with shade, fire up the barbie and serve an easy mix of sausages, burgers, prawns, salads and cold desserts. Add plenty of chilled water and alcohol-free drinks, because nobody wants to spend the afternoon pretending heatstroke is festive.
Keep the decorations relaxed with native greenery, fairy lights and red or green tableware. Then add backyard cricket, thong tossing or a friendly game of beach volleyball (emphasis on friendly)! You still have to work with these people on Monday.
Our guide to uniquely Australian Christmas traditions has plenty of inspiration if you want to give your BBQ a properly Australian flavour. Just make sure someone competent is in charge of the cooking. Enthusiasm and barbecue tongs are not formal qualifications.
4. A Christmas Cocktail and Mocktail Party
A Christmas cocktail and mocktail party can feel polished without requiring a ballroom, a six-course meal or an ice sculpture shaped like Santa.
Choose three or four signature drinks rather than trying to recreate an entire cocktail bar. A red drink, something sparkling and one refreshing summer option will give guests enough variety without sending the organiser into a garnish-related breakdown. Our collection of Christmas cocktail recipes is a good place to start, or build your drinks menu around these suitably festive red Christmas cocktails.
Give the mocktails just as much attention. Non-drinkers deserve something more exciting than warm lemonade in a paper cup while everyone else receives rosemary sprigs and sugared rims.
Add substantial finger food, plenty of water and a plan for getting everyone home safely. Then bring out the good glassware (or glassware-adjacent plastic) and toast surviving another working year together.
5. A Festive Decades Disco
If your workplace includes people who grew up in several different decades, use that to your advantage. A festive decades disco gives everyone permission to dress as though an old photo album has suddenly become a fashion catalogue.
Choose one decade or let guests arrive dressed for their own favourite era. You could also assign a decade to each department, although this may result in several heated conversations about who gets the 1980s.
Build the playlist around disco favourites, power ballads, boy bands and dance-floor songs from across the years. Mix in some of the best Australian Christmas songs so the event still feels festive rather than like a school reunion with better catering.
Decorations can move through the decades too, from mirror balls and neon to metallic streamers and retro Christmas ornaments. Add prizes for the best outfit and most committed dancer. Musical talent is optional. Confidence after the second chorus is almost guaranteed.
6. A Christmas Casino Night
A Christmas casino night is a smart choice when you want a workplace party that feels glamorous but still gives people something to do beyond making awkward conversation near the cheese platter.
Set up blackjack, poker and roulette tables using play money or personalised company chips. Guests can exchange their winnings for small prizes at the end of the night, keeping everything fun without anyone gambling away their Christmas shopping budget. If you plan to introduce real money, raffles or fundraising, check the relevant rules in your state first.
A red, black and gold colour scheme works beautifully, along with playing-card decorations, warm lighting and smart cocktail attire. Add canapés, sparkling drinks and a suitably dramatic playlist.
You can hire professional tables and dealers or simplify the idea with easy games run by willing colleagues. If your office kitchen cannot quite deliver the required Las Vegas atmosphere, explore the site’s Christmas party venue guides for somewhere with a little more room.
7. A Christmas Murder Mystery Party
A Christmas murder mystery party is ideal for a workplace where people enjoy solving problems, playing a character and accusing their colleagues of fictional crimes over dinner.
Choose a ready-made mystery kit, hire a professional host or create a simple storyline based around a festive scandal. Perhaps Santa’s nice list has disappeared, the office Christmas pudding has been sabotaged or someone has stolen the boss’s extremely questionable Secret Santa present.
Send character information and costume suggestions in advance, but make participation optional. Some people will arrive with a fully developed accent and handwritten backstory. Others would rather observe quietly while eating dessert. Both approaches are perfectly acceptable.
Reveal clues between courses and award prizes for the first person to solve the mystery, the best costume and the most convincing performance. A private function room will make the game easier to manage, and the Christmas in your city guides can help if you need party planners or suitable venues.
8. Festive Games and Office Olympics
Festive Games and Office Olympics require relatively little preparation and have a remarkable ability to reveal who has been quietly competitive all year.
Divide guests into teams for Christmas trivia, festive charades, a gift-wrapping relay, ornament-balancing challenges or minute-to-win-it games. You could also include a desk-decorating competition before the party and announce the winner on the day.
Our guide to Christmas games for families and groups has plenty of activities that can be adapted for adults. You can also borrow questions from our collection of Christmas trivia questions and answers instead of spending your evening searching for the name of every reindeer.
Keep the activities inclusive, reasonably short and safely within everyone’s physical abilities. Award points generously and offer small prizes for creativity, teamwork and spectacularly misplaced confidence. The goal is festive fun, not an incident report.
9. A Christmas Market Party
Turn your workplace or hired venue into a miniature Christmas market with food stalls, handmade gifts, twinkling lights and enough festive treats to make lunch entirely unnecessary.
Invite local makers or small businesses to run pop-up stalls, or ask each department to contribute something different. One might manage desserts, another could create a mocktail bar, while the creative team sells handmade decorations. Our collection of Christmas craft ideas includes projects that work for adults as well as children.
You could give each guest a book of tokens to spend, arrange a Secret Santa stall or create a hamper station using ideas from our guide to the best Christmas hampers in Australia. Add acoustic music and somewhere comfortable to sit, and people can wander rather than being trapped at one assigned table all evening.
A Christmas market party can also support a local charity, with proceeds from selected stalls donated at the end.
10. A Black, White and Gold Christmas Party
A black, white and gold Christmas party delivers maximum glamour from a surprisingly manageable colour palette. It also gives guests a dress code they can follow without purchasing an elf costume they will immediately regret.
Use black or white table linen, simple white crockery and gold accents through napkins, candles, balloons and table decorations. Warm fairy lights will soften the room, while a few carefully selected gold Christmas decorations can create a striking focal point. Carefully selected is important. There is a fine line between elegant gold detailing and looking as though a craft shop has exploded.
Keep flowers and Christmas table centrepieces low enough for guests to see each other, then serve sparkling drinks, stylish canapés and a simple plated meal or grazing table.
This theme works particularly well for an awards night or formal end-of-year dinner. Add a photo wall and encourage guests to dress up. The office deserves proof that everyone owns something other than activewear.
10 Family Christmas Party Themes
From cosy Christmas in July dinners to poolside celebrations, these family Christmas party themes are designed to bring every generation together, including the relative who insists they are “not really a games person”.
11. Christmas in July party ideas
An Australian Christmas in July party gives us the chance to enjoy all those cosy festive traditions that make considerably less sense when it is 35°C outside.
Choose a chilly July evening, turn on the fairy lights and decorate with rich reds, greens and golds. You could use traditional Christmas cards as invitations and ask everyone to arrive wearing their favourite Christmas jumper. For once, nobody will need to stand directly beneath the air conditioner to survive their outfit.
Serve a roast dinner or a relaxed winter grazing table, followed by warm pudding, gingerbread or mince pies. Add hot chocolate for the children and mulled wine for the grown-ups, then pull the crackers, play some Christmas games for the whole family and settle in somewhere warm.
Our complete guide to Christmas in July in Australia has more ideas for planning the celebration. Fake snow is optional.
12. A Winter Wonderland party theme
Head in the opposite direction here by opting for a White Christmas theme party. There are so many Winter Wonderland decorating ideas out there, and this look contrasts beautifully with the scorching temperatures of the Australian summer.
Winter Wonderland theme ideas include throwing an all white Christmas party where everyone comes dressed in their lightest monochrome clothing. You can add a snow-covered Christmas tree, or hang it with lots of white and silver baubles. White Christmas party ideas are very simple to pull off, and all that lightness and brightness can really lift the mood.
Whether you opt for lots of silver and white or prefer richer Christmas colour themes like red and green, a wintry Christmas party theme is a classic. Items to snap up include snowfetti, snowflake garlands and wintry balloons, as well as lots of shiny tree decorations.

13. Blue Christmas theme party
Looking for more unusual Christmas party ideas? How about harnessing an Elvis classic and theming your party for a Blue Christmas? There are lots of lovely blue decs and lights out there that you can use, some inspired by the classic Tiffany shade for a touch of Christmas class.
As Christmas party colour themes go, this one can even be extended to the music. You don’t have to play Elvis tracks all night, though – feel free to mix things up by using other tunes in that style or opting for songs from all musical eras.
It’s pretty realistic to expect everyone to wear something blue. Even if that’s something borrowed. If you do own a pair of blue suede shoes, then donning them is clearly obligatory. It’s simple to create a blue look within and even outside your home too, thanks to the large range of blue Christmas lights available.

14. A holiday pyjama party
It doesn’t get any more laid-back than a pyjama party at Christmas – whether you want Christmas party themes for kids or grown-ups. This is also among the best FaceTime, Teams or Zoom Christmas party themes, as you can be as relaxed as you like.
Make it an ugly pyjama party if you like, and everyone can have fun finding the ideal pair of Christmas pyjamas to rival even the most unattractive festive sweater. You can buy these in all sorts of styles and sizes, from onesies to shorts sets or a t-shirt and trousers. There are plenty of PJs for kids, men and women to choose from.
Stick to the PJs theme just for the dress if you like, or extend it to a chilling out theme that could include movies, music or pampering. If you’re hosting a kids’ Christmas sleepover, then this really is the obvious choice.

15. A tree decorating party
A Christmas decorating party can be a great activity for kids – as long as you don’t mind letting them loose with your family heirloom tree decs! If you do own any of these, it might be wise to keep those tucked up in a box – while allowing everyone free rein with an inexpensive new set of baubles.
Of course you don’t have to let your kids’ friends decorate the main family Christmas tree. Why not invest in a little one for their room or another space in your home – or even an outdoor version? There are so many styles, sizes and shapes to choose from, including fibre optic and LED lit trees plus snow-dusted or tabletop options.

16. A Family Christmas Games Night
A family Christmas games night is ideal when you want everyone doing something together instead of sitting in separate corners scrolling through their phones. Yes, teenagers, we can see you.
Choose a mixture of games so younger children, older relatives and highly competitive uncles all have a chance to shine. Christmas charades, festive Pictionary, trivia, bingo and minute-to-win-it challenges are easy to organise and work well with mixed ages. Our guide to Christmas games for the whole family has plenty of ideas, while these Christmas games for kids will help keep younger guests involved.
Divide everyone into teams rather than letting individuals battle it out. This makes the games more inclusive and reduces the likelihood of Nana being mercilessly defeated by a nine-year-old.
Add easy finger food, cold drinks and a few inexpensive prizes. Keep the rules simple, the rounds reasonably short and the scoring flexible—particularly if the appointed scorekeeper has been sampling the Christmas punch.
17. A Christmas Lights and Dessert Party
A Christmas lights and dessert party combines two excellent festive activities: admiring other people’s decorating efforts and eating pudding without first having to finish your vegetables.
Begin with a walk or drive around the best local Christmas light displays. Plan the route beforehand, check that the displays are operating and remind everyone to park considerately. If you’re celebrating locally, our guide to the best Christmas lights in Brisbane can help you decide where to go.
Afterwards, return home for a dessert table filled with Christmas cookies, pavlova, fruit, brownies, ice cream and anything else that survives an Australian December evening. These Christmas cookie recipes will give you plenty of ideas if you want to bake something yourself.
Add fairy lights, a Christmas playlist and chilled drinks to continue the atmosphere. Guests could even vote for their favourite display—but perhaps don’t announce the winner within earshot of the neighbours who spent six weekends decorating their roof.
18. An Australian Beach or Pool Christmas Party
An Australian beach or pool Christmas party makes perfect sense when Christmas arrives in the middle of summer. While much of the world is wearing novelty knitwear beside a fireplace, we’re trying to stop our thongs from melting onto the pavement.
Choose a patrolled beach, reserve a shaded picnic area or host the party beside a pool. Serve easy summer food such as prawns, cold meats, salads, watermelon and pavlova, with plenty of chilled water and other drinks. Our guide to uniquely Australian Christmas traditions has more ideas for giving the celebration a properly local flavour.
Bring beach cricket, inflatable toys and a waterproof speaker, but keep safety ahead of the festive chaos. Children need active adult supervision around water, glass should stay away from pool areas and everyone will need sunscreen, hats and shade.
Decorations can be wonderfully simple: Santa hats, striped towels and a few waterproof baubles. The ocean or pool has already handled most of the theme for you.
19. A Christmas Brunch Party
A Christmas brunch party is a particularly clever option during the Australian summer. You can celebrate before the hottest part of the day, serve food that most people love and finish early enough for everyone to attend the other seventeen events somehow scheduled for the same weekend.
Create a relaxed menu with croissants, pastries, fruit platters, pancakes, eggs, ham and something sweet. A grazing-style table allows guests to help themselves, while coffee, juice and a sparkling mocktail keep the drinks simple. Browse these Christmas breakfast ideas if you need inspiration beyond putting cereal into your best bowls.
Decorate with fresh flowers, greenery and a few gold or red accents rather than covering every available surface in tinsel. You could also ask everyone to wear Christmas pyjamas for a more relaxed family brunch.
Best of all, a brunch party gives the host the evening off. The kitchen may still look like a small catering company has collapsed inside it, but at least there is time to recover.
20. A Christmas Around the World Party
A Christmas Around the World party lets your family explore how different cultures celebrate the season – without requiring anyone to locate their passport.
Ask each household or guest to choose a country and contribute a festive dish, decoration, song, game or tradition connected to it. You might have German gingerbread, Filipino lanterns, Italian panettone, British crackers and an Australian pavlova all appearing at the same party. It may not be a perfectly coordinated menu, but it will certainly be interesting.
Provide small cards explaining each tradition so guests learn something while they eat. The theme works particularly well as a shared-table celebration because everyone contributes and no single person has to cook food representing half the planet.
Our Christmas cookie recipes include inspiration from different countries, while the guide to Australian Christmas traditions can help represent the home team.
Keep the approach curious and respectful rather than turning cultures into costumes. The goal is to share traditions, discover new favourites and conduct serious research into which country has the best dessert.
10 Children’s Christmas Party Themes
From crafts and treasure hunts to discos and movie nights, these children’s Christmas party themes will keep little guests busy, happy and suitably distracted from asking how many sleeps there are until Santa arrives.
21. The Grinch party ideas
The Grinch Christmas party ideas are among the best Christmas party themes around, as they work for people of all ages. From kids to your friends, grandparents and elderly neighbours, everyone can get involved where one of the festive season’s most iconic characters is concerned.
How do you do a Grinch party theme? Use lots of lime green decorations and go easy on the red. You can buy a set of disposable plates and napkins on Amazon to use for the food, and they also sell a set of Grinch cake toppers to crown the centrepiece.
Ask people to dress up if you like, and you could show one or more of the Grinch films if you have a large TV. Grinchmas party ideas are so simple to do, whether you’re catering for adults or kids. This is one of those festive theme ideas that it seems will never go out of fashion.

22. Elf party ideas
While it’s hardly the most unique of Christmas party ideas, an Elf bash is very doable for most people. That’s why it’s one of the most popular Christmas party themes – it suits anyone of any age and doesn’t require too much planning or financial outlay.
Lots of red and green decor is a must, and again it’s not too much of a demand on guests to expect them to reflect the elf theme in their outfit. An entire elf costume isn’t really necessary – they could simply buy an appropriate pair of ears, hat or headband. To wear with something red or green, of course.
You could also base your theme around Elf – the movie. Play the film for the kids as they settle down with some popcorn. It’s surely one of the easiest kids’ party ideas for Christmas.

23. Harry Potter Christmas party ideas
Harry Potter Christmas theme ideas are another great option for all ages. Much of the book and film series is set in the festive period, where Hogwarts glimmers and glitters and everyone receives a handknitted Christmas jumper from Ron’s mum, Mrs Weasley.
As Christmas party themes for families go this is a winner. Settle down for a relaxed movie marathon with your nearest and dearest, or throw a packed festive bash for all and sundry. The only rule being that they must come dressed as a Potter character.
Display your Harry Potter LEGO, wands or other accessories proudly around the venue. There are lots of ready-made outfits to choose from, or you could get creative by making your own. Consider a school uniform, a house robe or a Quidditch costume.
Click here to explore a range of Harry Potter costume options
24. Santa’s Workshop Craft Party
Turn the party table into Santa’s workshop and put your little elves to work making decorations, Christmas cards, gift tags and keepsakes. Set up a few simple craft stations so children can move between activities without everyone reaching for the same glue stick at once.
Choose projects that suit the children’s ages, cover the table well and stick with washable supplies wherever possible. Our collection of Christmas crafts for kids has plenty of ideas to get your workshop started.
The best part is that the children’s creations can double as their party favours. Add each masterpiece to a named paper bag ready to take home—preferably after the glue has dried and before the glitter establishes permanent residency in your carpet.
25. A Reindeer Games Party
It is time to find out whether your young guests have what it takes to join Rudolph’s team. Plan a mix of activities such as antler ring toss, a reindeer relay, pin the nose on Rudolph and a Christmas obstacle course—with no actual rooftop landings required.
You’ll find more energetic and easy-to-organise ideas in our guide to Christmas games for kids. Choose games that work for different ages and abilities, and use teams if you would rather avoid one fiercely competitive six-year-old taking control of the entire North Pole.
Finish with a station where children can make their own magic reindeer food to sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve. Package it in little bags with a festive label for an inexpensive take-home treat.
26. A Gingerbread House Decorating Party
A gingerbread house decorating party combines creativity, Christmas treats and the very real possibility of a minor architectural collapse. Children can decorate their own small houses or work together in teams on one larger creation.
For a calmer party, assemble the houses before everyone arrives. Then provide bowls of lollies, sprinkles and icing, along with trays to contain at least some of the mess. Clearly label any allergens and have boxes ready so the finished houses can travel home safely.
You could also bake a batch from our Christmas cookie recipes for children to decorate if building construction becomes a little too ambitious. Just expect a noticeable amount of the building materials to disappear before they reach the houses.
27. A Candy Cane Christmas Party
Build this children’s Christmas party around a cheerful red-and-white colour scheme, with striped decorations, balloons and tableware. Candy-cane-inspired invitations will set the theme before your guests even arrive.
Activities could include a candy cane hunt, striped ornament making, cookie decorating or a relay where children transfer candy canes between bowls without using their hands. Our Christmas crafts for kids can help you add a quieter activity when everyone needs a break from the games.
Despite the name, the menu does not need to be entirely sugar based. Mix the sweet treats with sandwiches, fruit, savoury snacks and plenty of water. Otherwise, you may witness a peppermint-fuelled takeover just as parents arrive for collection.
28. A Christmas Treasure Hunt Party
A Christmas treasure hunt keeps children busy, gets them moving and adds a little mystery to the celebrations. Hide clues around the house or garden, leading players towards a final stash of small gifts, chocolate coins or festive party bags.
Use picture clues for younger children and Christmas riddles for older ones. Teams are useful for mixed-age groups, as long as each child gets a chance to solve a clue. Set clear boundaries before the hunt begins so nobody decides the neighbour’s shed looks like a promising location.
You can add puzzles and quiet challenges from our printable Christmas activities for kids. Most importantly, write down where you have hidden the final treasure. Christmas magic is lovely, but it is not always helpful when you have forgotten which cupboard contains twelve party bags.
29. A Christmas Disco Party
Clear a dance floor, add colourful lights and put together a playlist filled with festive favourites. Invite children to wear Christmas colours, sparkly outfits or their best dancing shoes—although comfortable sneakers may survive the Chicken Dance more successfully.
Keep things moving with musical statues, a festive limbo competition, dance-offs and prizes for categories such as most creative move or best air-guitar performance. Add a few songs from our collection of Australian Christmas songs to give the playlist a suitably summery local flavour.
Provide water, simple snacks and a quiet spot away from the music. Adults are welcome on the dance floor too, but should be aware that their moves may be discussed by the children for several Christmases to come.
30. A Christmas Movie and Popcorn Party
For a relaxed celebration, turn the lounge room into a cosy Christmas cinema. Let guests arrive in festive pyjamas, pile up cushions and blankets, and hand out homemade movie tickets at the door.
Choose one or two age-appropriate films rather than planning an epic screening that continues until Boxing Day. Our list of G and PG-rated Christmas movies for kids can help you find something suitable, while our guide to hosting a Christmas movie marathon has ideas for setting up the room and planning the snacks.
Create a popcorn bar with a few toppings, add fruit and festive treats, and schedule an intermission for wriggling. Older children might also enjoy a round of Christmas movie trivia before the opening credits—or while everyone is still negotiating which movie to watch.
How to Choose a Christmas Party Theme
The best Christmas party theme is not necessarily the most elaborate one, it is the one that suits your guests. Consider who is attending, including their ages, interests and whether they will happily arrive dressed as an elf or would rather quietly disappear into the tinsel.
Next, think about your venue and the weather. An outdoor Christmas party can be brilliant in Australia, but shade, seating and a wet-weather backup are essential. Your budget matters too, especially once food, decorations, entertainment and those innocent-looking “little extras” begin multiplying.
Be realistic about how much preparation you want to take on. Some themes need costumes, handmade decorations and organised activities, while others require little more than a festive playlist and a well-stocked drinks table. If guests need to dress up, let them know early and keep the costume requirements simple.
Finally, choose food, decorations and entertainment that work together without making everything match perfectly. A few thoughtful details will establish the theme and leave you enough time and energy to enjoy your own Christmas party.
Which Christmas Party Theme Will You Choose?
Whether you are organising an office celebration, bringing the whole family together or planning something magical for the children, the right Christmas party theme makes everything else easier. Once you have chosen your idea, the food, decorations, activities and dress code can all fall into place.
Add a few of our Christmas games for families and groups to keep everyone entertained, or let somebody else handle the hosting by exploring Christmas party venues in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne or on the Gold Coast.
Whichever theme you choose, do not become so busy creating the perfect party that you forget to enjoy it.
