Countdown to the Next Year: The Holiday Spread.
When it comes to hosting parties, people tend to divide into a pair of rather distinct groups: people that love doing it, and the ones that would choose to do almost anything else. Being prepared early is essential, and selecting a few delicious dishes to begin the evening will amuse your attendees while you aim to hold everything together.
