Making Your Holiday Season Merry (and easy)
Have fun at your own party Follow these 7 tips and free yourself to have fun too! 1. Make easy and impressive food. Set up buffet style far from the bar for easy movement. 2. Make a punch instead of individual drinks. Set your bar up opposite the room’s entrance to avoid crowding as people enter or exit. 3. Set the mood with candles and music. 4. To encourage mindling, offer seating for only one-third of guests. 5. Preplanning behind the scene. Rent a coat-rack. Soak dishes in a big tub of soapy water for easy cleanup at end of night or morning. Open a window to clear out the stale air. 6. To wind down the party. Lower the music, blow out a few candles and if all else fails, start cleaning up. 7. To make the cleanup easy. Take out trash and check your furniture and carpet for spills and treat before you go to bed. ZZZZZZZZZ

CHRISTMAS PARTY IDEAS 1.Tacky Christmas sweater. Pull out the one your aunt gave you in the 80’s and you haven’t the heart to give it away. 2. Tree Decorating Party This theme for a holiday party has worked great for years. Ask each person to bring two ornaments to share. You, as host or hostess, should have an ornament to share with each guest. Write the date on the back as a reminder of the occasion. Everyone puts one of their offerings on the tree and exchanges the other with another guest. Everyone goes home with two new ornaments, one from you and one exchanged. It’s a great way to get the tree trimmed and add to your ornament collection. Great family idea! 3. Give to Others Your job will be to get everything organized. You and your guests might make things, such as blankets, toys, or socks. Or collect things as admission to your party, like canned food items or toys to give to the needy or a food bank. Or do a craft project and share it with residents of a retirement home. Put together food baskets and distribute to a shelter for the homeless. 4. Shop ‘Til You Drop Party & Wrap It Up with a glass of Vino. Plan a “Girls’ Day Out” for Christmas shopping. Locate some interesting places to shop for crafts, antiques, or specialty items. Get things ready for a light meal when you’re “shopped out” or stop at a favorite lunch room mid-day. When you can’t buy any more, get out all the wrapping paper, gift bags, ribbon, and tags, and compare your
purchases before you wrap them. Shopping, lunch, wrapping, and fun, all at one time! 5. Drop-In Fun Tell friends from work that you’ll be home all evening and invite them to drop in. Offer simple steaming soup, cheese and crackers, meatballs, cheese fondue, or small sandwiches. After a long day of work, no one will want to stay long, but it will be a nice opportunity to visit and relax. 5. Pajama Party Invite your girlfriends to dress in their Christmas Pajamas. (Goodwill always has great ones) You could watch old Christmas movies or have a dance party. Serve finger foods, popcorn or make it extra special with a special cocktail or martini. This is also a great theme for family parties. Have a craft for the kids (make a Christmas ornament and take home), watch family friendly movies and enjoy a family style party. Get each family to bring a potluck item and enjoy the time together. Take lots of pictures, makes for great memories.
