Holiday parties, whether being hosted by you or whether you're attending one are one of the most common not to mention highly anticipated ways to celebrate winter holidays. It's usually the one time when the entire family gets together or when most of your friends are in one place. On thanksgiving, parties are somewhat less common with people gathering more for thanksgiving dinner but Christmas parties happen on and off.

What matters a lot at these parties is the food. Holiday food is something that everyone looks forward to so whether it's a thanksgiving party, dinner or a Christmas party, food will be important. You can make the main course as rich as you want have all the holiday favorites like potato salad, turkey and plum pudding. The appetizers are a different story. Christmas or thanksgiving dinner isn't something that cooks fast so you'll need the appetizers to e substantial enough to keep your guests pacified.

Don't make all your appetizers sweet and remember that your guests will be eating a heavy meal so don't serve anything that will kill their appetite entirely. Keep things light with things like corn stuffed tomatoes, cupcakes, cookies or chocolate strawberries.

Taking a gift for the host or hostess is traditional at holiday parties and most people will take something like wine or a pie and that's likely to crowd your host's table. Take something unique like a box of chocolate covered fruit that he/she can enjoy later after the party or gourmet chocolate baskets to snack on.
