Christmas Dinner
Christmas is my favorite holiday to host. I think it’s due to my love of Christmas lights and decorations, so our house is always over the top! Plus, there are so many festive serveware options available that you can change up your table display as often as you like.

Many years ago I discovered the secret of perfect hard-boiled eggs – I purchase them from the Deli at Festival.
