    💭What to take to a holiday party?

    If you're invited a to a holiday party, what should you bring? Consider bringing something special that reflects the festive spirit of the season.

    A plate of holiday cookies decorated with festive colors and shapes are always welcomed to any party. Put together a charcuterie board featuring seasonal flavors.

    Or try your hand at preparing a few fancy sandwiches like my cucumber tea sandwiches. Use Christmas cookie cutters to make cute shapes out of cheese and ham sandwiches!

    Try to call ahead to your host a few hours before arriving to see if you can pick something up that maybe she forgot to purchase for the party. No matter what you choose, your hosts are sure to appreciate the gesture!
