I'm so excited. My daughter Rebecca comes home for Thanksgiving next week! I'm busy getting the house organized and decorated. That means cleaning out the guest room which has become a catchall for everything imaginable since she moved out a few years ago. I think everyone has a room like that. It's the place you store seasonal items that you only pull out once a year, like holiday decorations, party supplies etc.
And, speaking of parties, I have to get in gear and start planning mine - Christmas party that is. I like to keep it small, maybe about twenty to twenty five people and I like to mix it up with both friends and family. It's usually buffet style, and I have my closest friends bring one hot dish to share, then I prepare all the entrees. Uncle Juddso supplies the drinks and a very good friend of mine, who by the way should be on that cool TV show "Ace of Cakes", creates a fabulous theme cake. Last year she made a three tier cake with a ski lodge on top (Santa on the chimney) and skiiers slalloming down the tiers of the cake. VERY COOL.
So back to the party. Last night I was online checking out ideas for Christmas Parties and found a really cool site called Celebrations.com that has a ton of interesting ideas. In fact it has great
ideas for any occasion or celebration. I will be definitely using it as my guide for this years "festivities". After 20 years of doing this, I think I need to shake things up with some fresh ideas and Celebrations. com has them all!
Hmmm...maybe when Bex gets home she'll help me plan. Maybe I should throw the party a month early so she can partake of all the party fun too! That would be JUST COOL with me!
