"do not be afraid, people love to help one another during the holiday rush.TIP THREE: do not do it all! -Have everyone bring food so you do not have to do ALL the cooking!-You set one drink (like a fun and festive drink) and have others bring wine, beer, and soda.-Unless there is an activity already set, have people bring their favorite game to play.-Decide early if young children are allowed to come." . .
