Sips, Nibbles, & Caroling

I'm still behind y'all!  My friend Miss Joy has been in town since last Thursday and we've been busy girls...shopping, lunching, shopping more, and partying!  Sunday night we hosted a "Sips, Nibbles & Caroling" party...

Of course, Pepi was on hand to enjoy some fun.

The tree on the kitchen sideboard is decorated with a gingerbread theme...

I set up more Little Debbie Treats for the youngins...

My "Signature Beverage" was "Naughty Peppermint Egg Nog Punch."  It's made with ginger ale, egg nog, rum, and peppermint ice cream.

Candy canes to stir and crushed peppermint for garnish...

I set up cheese and crackers, Honeybaked ham biscuits, artichoke dip, and chicken wings on the kitchen island.  Dressed in a gingerbread apron from my "Prissy Apron Collection" and a festive headband, I served canapes to my guests.

My friend Miss Joy was dressed real cute in J Crew from head to toe!

Dessert was served from the bar...

Each guest was given sheets with the words to the songs we sang...This was a great party!  I wish that time had permitted me to take more photos.  We had 6 little girls with fabulous voices...they added their own song and dance routine of  "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" at every stop!

I wore this gingerbread Christmas vest when we headed out to carol.

Of course, my roadie matched my vest!

The next morning I woke up and realized I forgot to take a photo of my party favors.  This basket {photo won't load right} was full of to-go goblets for everyone to take beverage on the road.

There were little bells attached to the stem with a red ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by today...I'm off again to shop shop shop with my friend Joy.
