Entertaining Made Easy! Treat your guests to an assortment of delicious appetizers to nosh on while they socialize. If you’re serving dinner as well, having a selection of small bites buys you some time to finish up the main course while keeping your guests occupied.
The Perfect Ham Choose a ham
When choosing a ham calculate for one pound for every three people with a bone-in ham and one pound for every four to five people with a denser boneless ham.
Choose a glaze recipe
The glaze is best brushed on towards the end of the cooking time, usually in the last 20 minutes, to prevent the sugars from burning.
Prepare the ham for baking
Use a sharp knife to score your ham — a crisscross pattern is traditional as it lets the glaze sink in a bit and looks nice when it comes time to serve. Be careful to only cut into the skin and not all the way through to the meat.
Bake the ham
Heat your oven to 325° F. Cook the ham for about 20 minutes per pound. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat, being
careful not to touch the thermometer to the bone. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140° F.
Slice and serve the ham
Bone-in ham is a little trickier, but if you slice down to the bone then carve around the bone to release the meat you’ll end up with nice uniform slices. Serve with a high-quality mustard, scalloped potatoes, and your favourite veggie side-dishes.

Black Forest Wreath
Wines
My late brother and I grew up with this Black Forest tradition. Each year come end November, we would go into the woods and get evergreen boughs with our parents. Back home we cut them into 6-inch twigs that had lots of needles. These my dad tied into a garland with thin wire. Then fashioned it into a wreath the size of our biggest plate filled with water. Mom wound a red ribbon around the wreath. My brother and I stuck four red candles onto the greenery equal distance apart. The first Sunday in December—The First of Advent; we’d sit around the kitchen table with the wreathe in the middle. We’d light the first candle. Most nights until December 24 we’d sit there and sing Christmas carols without accompaniment. Each Sunday we’d light another candle. Christmas Eve we’d light the 4th candle. Then my brother and I sang songs until we were allowed to go into the living room. We were waiting for the sound of the silver bell that the "Christkindle" rang. It was the signal that the Christchild had flown through the window and brought us presents. It meant we could go and open our gifts. My brother and I, no matter how quickly we ran, never saw the Christkindle. Only our parents or grandparents who lived one floor below us did so. As adults we kept up this tradition sometimes by ourselves, sometimes with our parents and grandparents. And later in Squamish with our own children and grandchildren. For the latter we did the “Santa Claus” stuff as well. Everyone gets to open their stocking Christmas Morning filled with small presents oranges, nuts, candies, cookies, mittens, socks, tiny books, music tapes etc. Now in Kamloops, (even the rare times I was alone) I faithfully light advent wreath candles and sing English, German, and French carols.)

Carols The Little Drummer Boy Come they told me Pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see Pa rum pum pum pum
Frosty the Snowman Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal. Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say. He was made of snow, but the children know he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around! Oh, Frosty, the Snowman, was alive as he could be; and the children say he could laugh and play, just the same as you and me. Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, look at Frosty go. Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, over the hills of snow. Frosty the Snowman, knew the sun was hot that day, so he said, “Let’s run, and we’ll have some fun now, before I melt away.” Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there, all around the square, sayin’, “Catch me if you can.” He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop; and only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, “Stop!” For Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye, sayin’ “Don’t cry, I’ll be back again some day.” Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, look at Frosty go. Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, over the hills of snow.

Carols Santa Claus is Coming to Town
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
He’s making a list And checking it twice Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! O! You better watch out! You better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donder and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw it you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in ev’ry store, But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door. A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen; And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.
Deck the Halls Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la! ‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la! Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la! Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la! See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la! Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la! Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la! While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la! Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la! Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la! Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la! Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

Carols The First Noel
Away in a Manger
The First Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep, On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. This star drew nigh to the northwest, O’er Bethlehem it took it rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, and offered there in his presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
