We went to our friend's holiday party last weekend, and, although he doesn't have a fireplace in his small apartment, he had a roaring fire on his TV. Apparently, it's a netflix video. Genius!

(Wouldn't it be awesome to pair with a a fireplace-scented candle?)

P.S. How to help your guests relax and how to give a high five.

Will you be entertaining at home on New Year's Eve? One of my favorite tips is to have mini Champagne bottles for each guest set in ice with a straw. I would upscale these regular straws to some chic retro striped ones below from Paper Source. You can see both of these on Kate's bar cart in yesterday's post.

With the holidays approaching, now is the perfect time to get your bar set up. No need for a bar cart - a tray on a table, chest, or even a countertop will do just fine. Here a silver tray looks very dressy. Just be sure to treat it like a tablescape and not just functional, adding some pretty (Chinoiserie) touches as here with a ginger jar and orchid.
