A Holiday Party

     During the holiday season, our big celebration has always been on New Year's Day.  That is when my husband and I host our annual brunch; an event that now spans 30 years.

      What I don't do very often, however, is plan an event right before Christmas.  But a week ago, feeling like I had the holidays under control, I asked friends who are in our gourmet "supper club" if they would like to come over for an evening of appetizers and drinks.  Amazingly, during this very busy time of the year, everyone was free!

     I cooked and baked some of my favorites, and I have links for you below to all of the foods on my menu.

     And the best part, for me anyway, was pulling out favorite serving pieces, stands, and vintage decorations... and sharing it all with family and friends.
