Oddly enough, some would find that much more enjoyable than the "party" you described!
At least it's productive....

The more I think about it, the more I'd love to be invited to such a party.
The Mormons don't have any oddball ideas about Christmas. Sounds like they're just playing Christmas music sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Heck, lot's of people buy those CDs, they're GOOD.
Shoes? Not a Mormon thing. I've had some folks have me take my shoes off, most don't.
Yep, Mormon theology strongly discourages alcohol, tobacco, drugs and caffeine. Not that it matters much to me, I can't drink alcohol now anyway, maybe never again. By that time of night I'm done drinking colas.
So you just have a social evening, listen to some music, eat a bit and maybe play with some trains. Sure beats getting sloshed or driving on roads where others are doing the drunk driving thing. Doesn't sound like they're pushing you to watch a video trying to convert you. BTW, they DO make great videos. Seen a few. If you get a chance to watch one on touring the inside of temples, take them up on it. Those places are gorgeous on the inside. Always high production values.

Oh, I've become quite familiar with the Mormon theology, way of life, and their literature. I own CD's of the choir and I've actually seen the MTC at the Tabernacle, and in Cincinnati just this past summer. Been to the Temple in Salt Lake and to the one here in Ohio - not inside them mind you, as that's not allowed. I've read quite a lot about Joseph Smith - the Jimmy Swaggert of his time. I find it remarkable that the Mormon faith continued to thrive after Smith was exposed - blind faith is something else.
And I agree, the first year or two it was a nice party to attend. Now it's the SOS, but if you would really like an invite, let me know your address and I can have my neighbor send a Mormon representative to your door in no time.
Huh? You have been asked to take your shoes off at every house you've EVER gone to? Don't get out much huh?
Huh?
Whatever, and a MERRY CHRISTMAS to you.
You don't go to many friends with nice houses huh?
Ha! Not going to get in a pissing match, but I can assure you that I've been to many very nice houses in my life (dozens $1m plus). Mine does not fit into that categor 
Again, never been asked to take my shoes off. Maybe it is a regional thing (not sure where you are from since you location just says "general location" but in the south and based on my person experience it is not a standard practice to be asked to take off your shoes.

:haha Gee thanks!
Been there, done that!Actually, one of the nice things about my house is, it has 5 bedrooms and is within walking distance to a LDS meeting house. Think "resale value."
Exposed? Might want to PM me on that one.
