Holiday Entertaining Shortcuts

 

Holiday entertaining is no joke. It is stressful and has more details involved then a Senate bill. You have to worry about your cousin Martha’s aversion to the color blue, Uncle Ralph’s politics clashing with Uncle Tom’s and your mother-in-law. Enough said. When you see a shortcut you must seize it.

 

If you have kids this is the year to teach them how to host a holiday. They can help clean, chop veggies, and set the table. Little ones can wrap gifts and ice cookies. Hosting is a family affair and when everybody pitches in you have more time to focus on what matters the most – each other.

 

You don’t have to serve oyster stuffing at Thanksgiving because your own tastes just fine. You don’t have to have a different wrapping paper for every niece and nephew because it’s all getting thrown away just the same. You definitely don’t have to make a three layer cake with marzipan Santas because sugar cookies taste just as yummy.

 

Take your favorite part of the holidays and do it really well. If cooking is not at the top of your list then getting a meal catered is a great shortcut. San Marino Seafood has all of your party needs covered. They can custom make seafood party platters on your own serving trays.

 

Short notice isn’t a problem for most orders but call ahead if you have your heart set on crab cakes. Order a delicious holiday platter and focus on family not food.
