Our Christmas party is in five days. And yes, I do cook all of the food. Our party is a big event, and it has grown in every aspect over the last thirty years. We invite all of our friends and family (and their children if they are friends with our children) and I cook all of the food. For about 200 people. And no, I am not a caterer. I just know how to plan a party. Today I can’t wait to share my biggest tip with you.

Holiday Gift Buying Tips
I live in a house with four men. Actually, I guess you could say it is five, if you count my dog Sport. Every Christmas I have the same problem, and that is what to get them for Christmas! My boys are tough to please and it’s hard to buy them clothes (they are picky) and electronics (they already have everything). I even struggle buying them décor items for the home. You would think that would be easy. But they just aren’t that excited about stuff for their apartments.
This year I did some shopping on the Ace Hardware website and I struck gold. Ace Hardware has made my holiday shopping a little easier this season with gifts for everyone on my list.

How to Make Christmas Wrapping Paper
I love to wrap gifts. But finding wrapping paper is sometimes hard to do.
I had an idea that maybe I should make some wrapping paper this Christmas. Of course, I know the wrapping paper would have to fit in my red and white theme. Years ago I used the styrofoam printing method to make art in my son’s elementary school classes. I knew someday I would find a way to use this creative printing method again. I can’t wait to see what you think.
