Welcome Holiday Guests in Style
Julee Rosso, author of the Silver Palate Cookbook and owner of the Wickwood Inn in Saugatuck, Michigan, shares insights about cooking, decorating and entertaining that will make your holiday hosting more meaningful.
Have fun together
Be sure there's something to do, besides eating and watching football. Get out the cards or board games, play touch football, go sledding or tell stories. At the inn, Julee and Bill arrange for horse-drawn sleighs to appear after dinner. (If that's not possible, use a couple of cars to take guests on a neighborhood lights tour.)
Be the life of the party. If the hostess is having fun, it's infectious. Julee invites guests to take off their shoes, because she doesn't wear them at home. Having fun requires being comfortable.
