Garland, Check. Charlie Brown Vivaldi classic cd music playing check. Bacon Spinach puff appetizers, check. Hot chocolate bar, check, christmas cookie tower check…… and so on. These are just a few things that we have on our holiday hosting checklist? Do you have one? A list of itemized things to take care of before hosting your holiday party or dinner event?
Making a list for the holiday gatherings is great way to garurantee no stress and a great gathering. Another quick tip is to prep everything you can the night before so its ready to be popped in the oven the next day. This allows you to take your time and spruce up the home and get ready for your guests without rushing thru everything in the kitchen as well.
Take your time and enjoy the entire day, including setting up your home in the most festive way possible!
Grab your Garland, mistletoe and crushed leaves (depending on your weather). Crushed colorful dried leaves are a fantastic visual aid to any table or countertop!!
Also cater to your specific group. If you have a sports crowd coming over have a tv at the ready for after dinner to watch a bid event in one room at least, or you could have a cool sports triva game to play that engages everyone and shakes up the usual dinner party routine!
These are just a few quick tips for hosting over the holidays!
Happy Holiday Rising
