Make Holiday Entertaining A Breeze

With the holidays drawing close, your home will soon be the center of attention when entertaining guests from near and far. From creating a festive atmosphere to feeding friends and family, it's important to plan ahead for a hassle-free holiday season everyone will enjoy. Make this season's party planning less stressful and costly with these simple tips:

Decorate in a snap: Fill decorative clear glass jars with seasonal hard candies and treats such as candy canes, Christmas tree-shaped gum drops and red and white peppermints. Place jars either in a group or individually on an entryway table, fireplace mantle or end table for quick and tasty holiday decor. You can also use taller glass jars and fill them with pine cones, ornaments, fresh cranberries or evergreen branches for a more natural holiday look. Either way, these easy, inexpensive decorating tricks will create a festive ambiance in your home.

Keep it simple: Why not host a wine and cheese party instead of a sit-down meal? This type of party allows guests to mix and mingle freely, is budget (and waistline) friendly and requires little prep time so the host can enjoy the party and visit with guests. Set out a few wine, cheese and fruit pairings for guests to sample. Place cards identifying the combinations make good conversation starters too. Wow your guests when you open the wine with the SKIL iXO Vivo Power Corkscrew, the cordless screwdriver equipped with a corkscrew attachment, foil cutter and wine stopper. This handy tool makes popping open a bottle of wine as easy as tightening a screw which, by the way, it can also do.
