“Let the Wild Rumpus Start”

Ok, I know that line has already been taken in one of my favorite children’s books.  However, that is how we feel during the busy holiday season.  This is our favorite time of the year—the time where we can show off our creative skills and make your holiday party stand out from the rest.

We have a complete listing of locations in each town that would work for your corporate or personal holiday party.  Let us handle the details—site selection, rentals, catering, bar service, entertainment and décor…while you enjoy your own party!

Spiced Hot Buttered Rum Punch Recipe

This time of year just needs a little more warmth—a great way to get ready for the holidays.

Yield: 5 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1/2  cup  butter, softened
1/2  cup  firmly packed brown sugar
1/2  teaspoon  ground cloves
1/2  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
1/2  teaspoon  vanilla extract
3 1/2  cups  boiling water
1 1/4  cups  spiced rum
Garnish: 3″ cinnamon sticks

Preparation

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

To serve, combine butter mixture, boiling water, and rum in a small punch bowl, stirring until butter mixture melts. Serve warm with cinnamon-stick stirrers, if desired.

Pear Place Card

I love to use fruit as place card holders.  This pear looks fabulous. Just punch holes in some name tags and tie with ribbon or twine.  Small pumpkins or crab apples will also work. 

Tip:  Keep pumpkins out of the sunlight and once Thanksgiving is over, spray paint them gold, silver or whatever holiday color you are using.  Two for the price of one!
