Meri Meri Nutcracker Cake Stand, on AmazonCHRISTMAS PARTY ACTIVITY:
Meri Meri "Merry and Bright" Christmas Crackers, on AmazonInvite all your friends to stop by from say noon through ten during your holiday open house. Keep coffee on and hot water for tea; put appetizers in the oven every couple hours; keep snacks and desserts out, freshening your table every few hours. Make cocktails as guests arrive, and perhaps have a punchbowl available.
Invite guests to stop by and visit, pick up any presents you might have for them, sit and relax and enjoy a festive party. Keep fun Christmas movies playing on one of your televisions, but have the sound down low so people can still visit easily and hear each other. Set out bowls of Christmas crackers and invite guests to pop one open and wear the silly paper crown.
