Happy Sunday! Only one week left until Christmas! I cannot wait! I am so excited to be with my family and friends, it’s what makes the holidays and for that matter everyday special. The holidays are a perfect time to celebrate and host a party. Today I am at The Enchanted Home guest posting for Tina and sharing ideas for an easy weekday party!
Why not join me there to celebrate?
We can share a cocktail and toast to Christmas and the New Year!
Nibble a few desserts!
