On Christmas Eve I had 24 people in my house. We had potluck so everyone chipped in. I got to try some great new recipes that I found blogging, so that was fun- and yummy!
I'll leave New Years Eve celebrations to the younger set. Some how that ball dropping isn't as exciting anymore! ;-)

This holiday season our only entertaining is having our daughter's friends over on new year's eve
We'll be entertaining my folks along with the new in-laws. Good times!
We alternate each year so for this year for New Years, my friend Lisa is hosting a party. I think we'll bring shrimp cocktail and maybe some mini egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce.

I don't plan on entertaining this holiday season...I just don't have the money to
With three brothers in the Middle East, we hosted a Holiday Brunch for all the sisters-in-laws, kids, and grandkids.
AND...we all met Dad's first 'girlfriend' since Mom passed away almost two years ago.
It was a wonderfully happy time for everyone and we fed them Cinnabons and breakfast casserole and coffee and juice until they practically ROLLED out the door!

We entertained for friends yesterday, after the hustle and bustle of the official holiday. We just had light snacks, games, drinks, and fun. It was relaxed and great! My mother-in-law wants all holidays at her house, so she did all of the hard stuff for entertaining this year, as she always does, and loves to do.

With the holidays 1/2 over I'm cooling my heels the rest of the way until New Years. My house was full of hustle and bustle with family and friends throughout Christmas. New Years Eve and New Years Day don't really qualify as holidays for me any more since my job involves Uncle Sam and tax season so I'll spend those days at the office, as usual, while the rest of my family enjoys the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game on TV.

We will be celebrating our 10th Anniversay but having a quiet dinner.
All of our holiday celebrating is in town- either here, Ken's mom's house (half a block away) or the mini diva and Derek's which is in town- and yes, I do know how fortunate I am. ;)

We're entertaining by having friends over for a party
Every year for New Years, we host a gtg and have a "snowball" fight with marshmallows.. We live in florida, so there's never any snow, and we're all native northerners and miss the snow, especially this time of year!! This could help with the costs of food, or marshmallows! Thanks for the entry!

I had everyone to my house for dinner and gifts.
We did all of our holiday entertaining at my parents' house this year, mostly because my mom broke her leg and was immobile! We had a party with food, drinks, games, and karaoke, on the 23rd, a formal dinner on Christmas Eve, and a second casual get-together and gift exchange with a potluck dinner on Christmas night. It was another memorable, relaxing Christmas!

The holidays are over, so I'll let you know what we did. We opened presents in our home on the day before Christmas eve. On Christmas eve we went to my sisters. While there, we gorged on food, exchanged presents, and played games. On Christmas night it was just me and my husband so we spent eight hours vegging out on the couch, watching True Blood.
