Ideas for the Family Christmas Gathering

You know you have the 20-25 family adults and their random kids together in a park for an afternoon.  The stealing santa is so last year.  What do you do.  Needs to be fun and memorable would be good.

Here are some brain storm idea

MASTER CHEF
Leveraged off the idea that Daryn & Clare had for the Physio active Christmas Party.
We hire a guro chef and ovens / kitchen stoves.
The 20-25 family types are randomly arranged into groups of 3 and each group of 3 are given written instructions and raw materials and cooking equipment to make one part of the christmas meal.  Then they cook like mad for 30 minutes or whatever.  Then all the bits are brought together for the meal. 

MAKE A VIDEO
Get a creative team - Facilitator + camera operator to come and help / organise the koning family to make a humorous christmas message video.  In one hr, the facilitator works with the family to script & rehearse and film the video.  They then go and edit it and upload to youtube.  The family continue with their party.

ART
Get an artist to come and facilitate the family to make a mural.  Maybe a christmas mural painted on white Vinyl. Then go hang it on the bridge across the western freeway or at Taringa.  The artist bring s the material and paint and ideas and helps, coaches, facilitates.  Cajoles the non participats and so on.

CRAFT
Same as art but some object(s) is / are built.  Maybe one big object maybe one little object per person.  Maybe super well done thingos that are then donated to a shop to be sold for the poor.
