Christmas Party Tablescape 10 / For Tuesday Lunch Bunch Party




We arranged this tablescape for the central table used for the Tuesday Lunch Bunch party we hosted in 2010. 


Our menu consisted of a potato bar served with  an assortment of toppings that included butter,  chili, green onions, sour cream,  cheese sauce, and smoked Boston butt barbecue. For appetizers, we prepared finger sandwiches; Santa Fe' wraps; roasted bacon-wrapped water chestnuts (moose balls); pigs-in-blankets; and party picks stacked with cheese, olives and pepperoni.  For the beverage, we prepared a lime sherbet punch.

Several guests brought additional holiday dishes to share.

After our meal, we played a simple  Christmas word game in which  the hostess (that would be me) wrote  scrambled holiday words on a dry erase board. For each scrambled word, all contestants were given the same clue to solve it. The first person to  successfully unscramble each set of letters and form the right Christmas word won. Each winner then went to the Christmas tree to pick out the prize of their choice from a large selection of wrapped gifts.  Gift prizes were wrapped, inexpensive dollar store items that included the beloved rubber chicken, won by Carroll this time.
