Best of the Blog: A Festive Party at My House
Merry Christmas! Here's another wonderful holiday party from the past. This one originally ran on Dec. 23, 2010.
This past Saturday, I hosted a holiday party at my home in Bedford and invited family, friends, and neighbors. I know how busy everyone is at this time of year, but I really wanted to see as many people as possible. Therefore, I decided that the gathering would occur from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m., a time span that might be accommodating for most of those invited. I’m happy to say that it was a very good idea, as guests arrived promptly at 3 p.m. with others streaming in a bit later. Several people lingered until 8 p.m. and ate just about every delicious morsel that Chef Pierre created. If you’re wondering why photos of the food and décor are missing from this blog, it’s because I’ll be using them for a magazine story next year. Be patient!
