As the Mayan “long-count”
calendar moves toward the end of a 5,125-year cycle, some people believe that
the Dec. 21 event will coincide with a global catastrophe. So what will you do
to celebrate the end of the world as we know it? Do you need to edit and
prioritize your list of things to do before you die?
It's time to make
your short-list. And after you've got
that all planned out, why not plan a party? If the end of the world is coming,
why not celebrate? We've got a few suggestions for hosting an end of the world
party:
1. An "End Of
The World" Menu
Getting in and out
of the parking lot of the grocery store to buy your Thanksgiving turkey and all
the fixings was a death-defying act. Imagine
what it's going to be like to scare up a party platter after the nuclear
winter. If you're throwing an end of the world party, just for fun you'll want
to make sure you include a few things on your menu like canned ham, sour kraut
and Tang that are assured to outlast the end of the world.
2. Make An
Appropriate Playlist
The whole tone of
doomsday and destruction at your party will hinge on your musical selections.
You'll want to make sure that the end of the world has an upbeat tone with a
beat that your partygoers can dance to, and yet still have a little reverence and
solemnity about the event.
3. Location,
Location, Location!
When the end of the
world happens, where do you want to be? Maybe now is the time to throw caution
to the wind and turn the small boxy bungalow that you've been living in to an
open concept floor plan. Knock down a wall or two? Why not? What better time
than at the end of the world? If you're not feeling that adventurous, a room
with a view seems like just the right spot.
4. It's Time For
Activities!
After the
apocalypse, preservation and protection will be the name of the game. Allow
your guests to practice their survival skills on the dart board. Or if that's
too "on the nose" maybe they could play Monopoly or Life -- just to
see what the risks are.
5. Have Fun!
If these are to be
your last few hours on earth, you want to make them count. Go all out on your
2012 end of the world party. If you are a spontaneous socialite, have fun games
like the world domination favorite "Risk" or the ever-popular
"Game of LIFE." If you're more of a movie person, consider such
classics as Armageddon and The Day After Tomorrow.
