While the weather outside may be frightful,
your holiday party will always be delightful if
you keep in mind the three P’s:
Plan foods that can be prepared ahead and
appeal to both the nose and the taste buds.
Proof your party the day before. Walk down
the street and then come back as if you were
a guest. How does the front door look? Can
the doorbell be heard from the kitchen? Where
do the coats and umbrellas go?
Present at least one showstopper—our
edible “flower” arrangement, for example.
Finally, don’t forget the first rule of
entertaining: Enjoy!
