This year I was told to "not make so much food" because "we had too many left-overs." So, I lightened the menu a little and it actually worked out great! Last year, we had about 20 people and this year we had about 30 people. Brad invites all of the members of his team as well as their spouses/significant others. We ate tons of food, Brad handed out his gifts to his team, and we all participated in a White Elephant gift exchange.
I love the Christmas season and I love throwing a party!! I love decorating, all of the cooking and baking, and watching everyone have a good time. This is definitely one of my most anticipated parties of the year. Lots of planning and preparing goes into this one. I didn't take any pictures since a few people showed up early, but here is our Menu as well as what food "looked like."
