1. When the company or employer you work for, doesn't provide an annual Christmas party and an employee(s) throw it instead. "Unconventional" meaning you're invited and can invite your friends, family, co-workers, etc. and your friends can invite their friends, family, co-workers, etc. For some people, their jobs do not have Christmas parties anymore, or they are never asked to one, this remedies the lack of festive celebrations.
The general rule of thumb for attendance, once you are invited, you can invite anyone and then they can invite anyone. Someone should invite you before just showing up. Note: Everyone should pitch in similar to a potluck or a globally set amount to pay for a venue and food.
2. A Christmas Party hosted by anyone but the employer, primarily for their fellow employees. This Christmas party can include, but not limited to, their friends, families, significant other's co-workers and their friends and family.

John: Hey, my job can't afford to pay insurance to throw another Christmas party. Let's have our own "Unconventional Christmas Party!"
Jane: I'll try not to all go to jail for inappropriate behavior this time!

Mark: Jannet just invited me to an "Unconventional Christmas Party."
Carol: What about your companies Christmas Party?
Mark: I'm skipping it because it's going to be lame! Nothing but upper management bragging about their year-end bonuses.

The few days after Christmas in which one of your relatives or friends realizes they forgot your gifts. They then go to your house to drop them off. Thus causing the After Christmas Effect.
My Grandma just came over with an After Christmas Effect. She forgot our presents again... This happens every year.

A game predominately enjoyed by university students during the month of December. Each house-mate needs a Christmas themed hat and one bottle of Tesco value gin shared between the whole house/flat (the cheaper and more disgusting the better).
How to play: The Christmas gin must be kept in the living room/communal area along with a shot glass. From the first of December every housemate- if they want to enter the living room- must first wear their xmas themed hat. If they are caught by another house-mate- for however brief a time- without their hat- then they must do a forfeit of a single shot of gin. This continues throughout the month of December or until all the gin is gone.
For hard-core enthusiasts the boundaries can be extended to the kitchen and hallways.
Cheap gin is used because there is not a person alive who enjoys the taste of cheap gin straight- especially if you get caught out with your morning cornflakes ;)
