Countdown to the New Year: Your Holiday Spread.
When it involves throwing parties, people tend to divide into a couple of quite separate groups: those who love doing it, and people that would prefer to do almost something else. Being organized early is essential, and selecting a few tasty creations to start the festivities will entertain your guests while you work to manage everything.
