Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Everyone
Stocking stuffers are always so tricky, aren't they? You don't want to give your friends and family things that they'll never use, but you also don't want to spend a fortune on presents that should really be under the Christmas tree anyway. Well I, for one, refuse to let such a fun part of Christmas be a hassle. I've got a couple of guidelines for your stocking stuffer shopping this year that I think may help!
What is a Bûche de Noël?
Looking for something new and different to serve after dinner this Christmas? Try a Bûche de Noël! Also spelled Bouche de Noel in the English-speaking world, this French cake is a classic Christmas tradition across the pond and would make a lovely addition to your family's holiday tradition, no matter what it is.
Secret Santa Guidelines
A friend asked me yesterday if there were any hard and fast Secret Santa guidelines that she should be following, as this year is her year to plan her office Holiday Party. While I'm not aware of a Secret Santa rulebook out there, I was able to come up with a few guiding tips for her, and thought I'd share them with you, too. If you're in charge of planning the office Holiday Party this year, holding a Secret Santa among friends or are simply curious as to what a Secret Santa is...not to fear! Penelope is here.
Champagne Christmas Punch Recipe
Dear Penelope,
I’m in charge of making the punch for our office Christmas party this year. I’ve liked some of your past punch ideas, but was hoping for something new. This punch can definitely have alcohol in it…any ideas?
