QotD: Party Time. Excellent.
Are you throwing or attending a holiday party this year? Any ideas/tips to share?
Already threw one. Tips to share?
- More food is better than no food, but make sure that the food you prepare/provide is desirable food. Make all the impressive little candy-cane/graham-cracker sleighs you want, but your guests will appreciate the simple snacks more.
- Let the party mutate, split, then coalesce again. If everyone is not in the same room, don't worry. A good party usually stakes claims simultaneously in the living room and the kitchen.
- Put the pets away. Better for the cats to complain later, than for the host to worry about their welfare during the fray.
- Be ready for people to stay overnight. Have some blankets, extra pillows, etc.
