Description: Last December I hosted my dream party - a Christmas "Appetizer and Dessert" Party. I figured that with appetizers and desserts, you get all the good stuff that everyone loves to eat - no one will miss the mashed potatoes and traditional dinner! Everyone brought an appetizer or dessert (or 2) to share, and we had a ton of food!
We had the party a week before Christmas, so we managed to get nearly all of our family there. I wasn't ambitious enough to try for a whole-group shot (usually my trademark), but I'm already planning it for this year's party! (Not blurry in real life!)
A copy of the invitation I sent out in my Christmas cards to family:
A Holiday Celebration! Please join us for an Appetizer-and-Dessert Potluck ... We won't be exchanging gifts, but please bring an appetizer or dessert to share.
