Planning a Christmas dinner, holiday dinner or other large gathering isn't complicated, but the more forethought you give, the easier it will be. The golden rule is, do as much work ahead of time as you can, so you and your guests can enjoy yourselves on the day itself.
Christmas Carnivals Christmas Dinner Party provides information.For a teen Christmas dinner Party, Christmas is the season for food and why shouldn't your teen have some friends over for the evening? Whether a menu for the evening follows a choir practice, tree trimming, finals study circle, or it's a dinner for friends that brings old friends together to catch up,the meal is easy to prepare and sure to please.
Let your teen decorate, set the table, etc. Set a budget and then, let go. Remember, this is their party and their ideas will be different. That way, the house rules are easy: the teen host is responsible for post-lunch clean-up, no booze is permitted, parents must be at home at all times, but not at the party, unless invited to say "hello."
The one who breaks it, pays for it. Pasta with Tomato and Sausage Sauce, Caesar-Style Salad, Lemon Cheesecake with Fresh Berries are some of the dishes teens can try.
Plan a Mexican Christmas dinner Party with Pinatas which are a must and usually in the shape of flowers, animals, airplanes or clowns, filled with fruit, candy and even small toys. Arrange for fruits, especially oranges, limes, peanuts, sugar cane and other tropical fruits. The typical Mexican house is usually adorned with pine branches, moss, paper lanterns, etc. When guests arrive, each is given small colored candles and the procession starts. Everybody sings and prays for about 30 minutes, after which they go to the yard where the pinata is hung. Serve a cold buffet supper around midnight. The big dinner, of course is turkey, either roasted or in mole, and other fine dishes.
Decide how many guests you'll have at least two weeks beforehand, and assess how much space you have, both at the table and in your home. Compose your menu at least two weeks ahead of time as well and plan for each person to eat between one and two pounds of food. Organize the menu into to-do lists, including all preparation steps.
