What I liked ...
 What a beautiful memory. It sounds as those you had some precious, happy times with your mother and your family. There's nothing quite like a big family gathering, particularly when you are young. My mum was one of ten children, so I have a gazillion cousins, and we have always all gathered together twice a year. I remember those times when I was younger, playing hide and seek and other games with my cousins. Sneeking away to the park. Playing darts on my aunt's dartboard. Those times are special, and this memory of yours reminded me of those times. It's funny how someone else's memory can remind you of some of your own.
The use of music through this story really appeals to me. From the title song, to Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, I love your mom's taste in music. I think music is the thing that can instantly transport me back in time quicker than anything else. I love music, and I find I have an emotional response to it a lot.
The picture of the children listening to horror story night is brilliant. You say there was "safety in numbers," and that made me laugh. Children and teenagers tend to go through a paranormal phase, don't they? Where they want to scare themselves witless, but they don't mind because they are with their friends at the time. For my friends and me, it was 'Poltergeist' and 'Nightmare On Elm Street.' We sneaked the videos into our bedrooms and watched them together. I remember being terrified a poltergeist would come and get me for months after watching that! 
Suggestions: I wouldn't change a thing. This is your memory, straight from your heart, and I would never try to change that.
Parting comments: Once again, your writing has taken me on a reminiscing journey of some happy times when I was younger. Your mom sounds like a wonderful lady. She sounds as though she liked to have fun, and also to put on a great party and be a great host. I feel rather nostalgic after reading this. You have reminded me, I must give my aunt a ring today.
