Holiday Open House

After decorating your home for the holidays, there is no better way to show off your handiwork than a Holiday Open House. After the décor is done—pumpkins carved, tree trimmed, or menorah on the mantle—it’s time to for food. Consider doing heavy hors d’oeuvres (like these Dazzling Gourmet Hors d'Oeuvres) and finger foods (like these Savvy Finger Foods) to maximize mingling among guests. And of course, many hors d’oeuvres and finger foods can be made ahead or require no cooking at all, allowing for more dedication to décor.
