When I go to a holiday party, I like to bring something…usually food or an adult beverage. But how much more fun is it when you dress it up a little and make it seem like a *real* hostess gift? A cute bag or wrapping paper can do the trick…or you can print out these …
When I was a kid, I always looked forward to Thanksgiving. It was the gateway to Christmas! All of my favorite people came over for dinner.
