Do: Be prepared to entertain on the fly! I always have wine and simple appetizers on hand that I can whip up in a hurry should an impromptu party present itself.

Do: Designing and entertaining go hand in hand. So, creating a mood by dimming lights, lighting lots of candles, placing an abundance of fresh flowers and seasonal greenery around is my favorite thing to do.

Do: Keep it simple. The holidays can be so hectic; all that truly matters in entertaining is enjoying time with family and friends. Forget the self-imposed pressure!
