Get Lit - Holiday Style

December Book Club was so much fun! It even involved an impromptu game of Catch Phrase. During Catch Phrase someone said, "It's a vegetable that is green," and someone yelled out, "Carrot!"

Here I am with my tablescape:

The menu included chicken salad with croissants, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, beer swiss fondue with bread and apples, veggies with dip, black bean and corn salsa with chips, hummus with pitas, deviled eggs, a cheese ball with crackers, cucumber salad, candies, cookies and petit fours.

I sprinkled cover printouts of the books we read throughout the year on the tables. We had lots of wine and a pear cider spiked with rum. The first person to say cheers received an edible peppermint shot glass, and whoever found the Christmas napkin under their seat received a Lolita martini ornament.

Everyone toured the house, and the most fun of all (and why we were all there), was to each read our favorite children's Christmas book. We heard Madeline's Christmas, Twas the Night Before Christmas to a cajun style Twas the Night Before Christmas and everything in between. I was introduced to The Twelve Days of Christmas in North Carolina, and it really was a cute one - definitely on my list of Christmas books to own. I had a blast hosting this event!
