Ten years ago a friend from college came up with a clever way to celebrate the holidays. She always wanted to have a Christmas Party but had trouble finding a day to host the party. Everyone knows how hectic December can get and the weekends fill up fast.  Her idea was to host her party the first weekend in January. It is a terrific idea because the stress of the holiday is behind you, yet  it’s still the holiday season. With the stress of December gone  you can kick back, relax and really enjoy yourself. It has been a huge success and my husband and I look forward to it every year. I am just sorry she thought of it before I did.
