Home | Home & Family | Holidays Heat up the fireplace; turn on your favorite Christmas music; hang mistletoe in each entryway, and your party's ready to start. You can select between a sit-down dinner or a buffet depending on how many people you've invited. Most of the time, a buffet is preferred. Before giving it out, write on the invitations: "Bring a Dish to Share". What Will You Serve For The Buffet? A 12 foot sub or hero is always a good choice. It can be served hot or cold and it will be enough to satisfy the people you've invited. Alternatively, you can create your own dish and tell everyone else to also bring something they've made, as well. Popular side dishes are sausage in biscuits; stuffed mushrooms; chicken rolls, or different flavored cheese puffs and knishes. Also serve wine, punch, water, and especially during Christmas, eggnog. How will your food be served? Place a large table in your dining area or any large area in your house. Try arranging the food nicely on the table. Add plates, napkins, and silverware that has Christmas themes on it at one side of the table. If done this way, your guests can take a plate, napkin and tableware and then proceed to the food. An advantage of this: Cleanup is easier, too. Decorate your dining room table. Here are some suggestions: Choose a solid color tablecloth; red, green or white. Add Christmas placemats at each setting. As a centerpiece, fill a crystal bowl with Christmas balls. Next to the centerpiece, place two Christmas candles. To make your tablecloth stand out, pin garland around the bottom of the tablecloth. How About Party Games? After the buffet and dessert, it's time for some party games. Adults may enjoy charades or a Christmas sing-a-long. Or you could play musical chairs with a twist. Have the men get down on one knee, while the women walk around them to the tune of jingle bells. When the music stops, each woman has to sit on a man's knee. This game is so much fun, that your guests will laugh until they cry. Finally, Christmas isn't Christmas without Santa. Pre-arrange someone to dress up as a Santa villain. Have him wear a wig and a mustache that turns up to his nose. He could give away gag gifts, or anything that's funny and appropriate. This is sure to be a company Christmas party idea that will be long remembered. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
