No matter if you dread them, parties must be given because events must be celebrated. Keeping things simple and showing people a good time is easier than you might think. The New Year is one such occasion and here’s what to do:
Keep things festive - serve a meal of one big item, some elegant side dishes, and a wonderful dessert (which can even be store-bought).
After the meal, retreat to another room and nibble on salted nuts, chocolates, and sliced citrus accompanied by prosecco in a can and decaf espresso. If your floor is littered with pistachio shells and colored candy foils, so be it.
