Some people spend more time and money on their annual holiday party than they do on anything else all year long. Skip it. It's not worth the money or the expense. If you want to have a get-together, go ahead -- but keep it casual and friendly. Ask each guest to bring a dish and go potluck style. Don't feel like you need to give each guest a gift, either; you're spending time with each other, and that's a good present right there. Make sure you they know they're not required to bring you a "hostess gift" either.
