| Party Ideas |
| Tips for Entertaining: 1.) Plan ahead. Most people have their weekends throughout the holiday booked up far in advance. 2.) Send out personalized invitations. 3.) Keep cocoa, tea, egg nog, cheeseballs, crackers, and goodies on hand for that unexpected guest. 4.) Light candles... they just add to the warmth and scents of the season. 5.) When attending a party, bring along a gift for the hostess (see ideas under the gift ideas section). 6.) Hang mistletoe by a red ribbon, in your front doorway. 7.) Play festive Christmas tunes (see below for some great bets). 8.) Have a great family Christmas movie on hand for your smaller guests. |
