It's the Holiday Season: Throw a Tree Trimming Party

A tree trimming party isn't something that comes up very often anymore. Based on our experience though, it should not be a thing of the past. How do you throw one? Well, it is actually not so hard.

1. Get a tree
2. Plan a menu

Our menu included cured meats, a variety of cheeses, hot artichoke dip, pickled asparagus, jumbo shrimp with cocktail sauce and roasted garbanzos.  Dessert was individual cheese cakes topped with sweet cranberry sauce.


3. Make some festive drinks




We served classics including Tom and Jerry’s and Hot Buttered Rums. Along with those cocktails, which are on the rich side, we also had a variety of beer and wine thanks to our lovely guests.


4. Invite some fun people that want to have a good time





5. Get out your ornaments, turn on some holiday tunes,and DECORATE your tree






Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

  1. Looks like a sweet party! I recognized Nanny's silver tree. I loved how it turned from blue to yellow to green...

    1. Thank you! Happy holidays to you too. Our mom purchased that particular tree at an estate sale a few years ago. One of her favorite finds!
