CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS 2006
Step 1: Determine a budget.
Create a budget that takes into account
decorations, invitations, food and drink.
If your budget gets too bloated, Foxman
suggests asking friends or guests to
bring some food or having beer and
wine, which is less expensive than a
full bar.
Step 2: Decide the number of guests.
Make a wish list of whom you plan
to invite and make sure you have the
room or can rent a space to accommo
date everyone. Then, send out invita
tions early and show off your creativ
ity, Foxman says, because you're likely
competing with many other holiday
parties.
Step 3: Develop a party plan.
What foods will you serve? Are you
cooking or catering in? Are you holding
a holiday open house, a sit-down din
ner, potluck or a buffet? Consider such
questions to come up with a detailed
plan. If you're baking, make up a sched
ule to coordinate all the work and time
involved. If you're ordering any special
ty items, do so in advance so you're not
left with starving guests. Also, a theme
- such as candyland or winter wonder

"Coming up with something to break
the ice, especially if a lot of your guests
have never met, is essential," Foxman
adds. Some activities may include
decorating cookies, caroling or a gift
exchange.
Step 4: Prepare.
Don't wait until the day-of to tackle
your to-do list. Make a list of what
needs to be done and do as much as
you can beforehand, such as decorating,
assembling tableware and most of the
baking.
Step 5: Enjoy.
Don't get lost in the details during the
party. For example, Foxman recalls the
party host who walked around with
a Dustbuster cleaning up potato chip
crumbs.
As host, you should be making intro
ductions and refilling the food and bar.
"Make everyone comfortable," says
Foxman, adding that you might want
to have at least one person in the kitch
en helping so you have more time to
mingle.

- Kids can turn the backseat into the big screen. More often than not, parents
dread the long holiday drives to visit relatives, as anxious and antsy youngsters can
turn the trip into a testament to a parent's patience. Keeping the kids occupied in
the backseat can be a tough thing to do.
However, turning the backseat into more than just the backseat can do the trick.
