The ingredients for successful entertaining

Christmas is a time for giving and receiving So, if you're giving a holiday party, you can probably count on receiving a raft of recipes from well-meaning family members — Grandmothers plum pudding. Great-Aunt Martha's vegetable souffle and Mom’s rum-basted Virginia ham. But. there’s one recipe you're ndt likely to receive, perhaps the most important of all. It’s the recipe for a Ijoliday that will stand out from all the rest. And. that’s where a little non-culinary counsel can help "The first rule for an outstanding party is this: What you put on the table is less important than who you put on the chairs." says John Bartley.

list almost guarantees an exciting evening. The most interesting parties include old friends and new, unacquainted seating partners and small groups with shared interests.” Another key to making a party special is selecting a theme. Why not forsake the standard stand-up cocktail hour for a get-involved gala? A caroling party is always popular Or. ask musical friends to bring their instruments for an orchestral evening or maybe a night of chamber music. An Elizabethan banquet pr a Christmas-in-the-country party would also make for an out-of-the-ordinary event. Whatever you do. Bartley advises, use the magic of the Christmas season to give your party a special aura. Put a Yuletide brew on the stove to fill your house with the aroma of the season Spread tfife spirit of giving by decorating each place at the table with a take-home ornament or a pint-sized package. Make sure there’s a stack of festive tunes on the stereo. And. be sure to capitalize on the captivating power of candlelight. Nothing seems to make a party more cozy and Christmasy than an abundance of brightly burping candles.

A letter was read from Lucille Raines of Indianapolis. She described the eight types of support .programs there. The group gave a donation for a rug purchase in one of the support programs.
