Now, the very best party tip I’ve ever heard came from one of the moms at my church. She’s very ‘type A’ and she’s amazing at getting things done, looking great while doing it and having the most wonderful attitude. Around Christmas one year, while our daughters were in choir together, she and I were watching for the umpteenth time and we started whispering about holiday plans.
She was worrying over going to her recently divorced father’s home for Christmas dinner. They’d gone for Thanksgiving and it had been like eating in a man cave. She’d done her best to spruce up what he had and make it a sharable, enjoyable meal, but already was dreading the Christmas meal where there would be more guests. We shared our best tips and I think she was feeling better with her plans (a quick trip to the department store for a big case of dishes while they were on winter clearances and a call to the grocery store to have it catered—bam).
Great Tip. Quality Tip. Grand Tip. Maybe one of the best tips. Ever.
