Thanksgiving is over, and it seems like after that, Hanukkah and Christmas arrive more quickly than we thought possible. Nevertheless, it’s time to start thinking about all of the things we do such as decorating, shopping, wrapping, and cooking, and get as much done now, in advance, so that we can relax and actually enjoy the holiday festivities when the time comes. Happy holidays from all of us at Bellisari’s!

Happy Hanukkah from all of us at Bellisari’s!

As the years go by, you may find that in order to carry on certain family holiday traditions, you may have to take over hosting some or all of your family’s holiday festivities yourself.

Instead of stressing about all of it, take a deep breath and realize it doesn’t have to be hard and can actually be so much fun.

Are you hosting a holiday party this year? Being a good host can be incredibly rewarding, but it can be stressful too.

Thankfully, most of the stressors can be eliminated. If you’re wondering how to throw a memorable party and prepare your home for holiday guests, these simple hosting tips will make organizing the holidays at your house a piece of cake!
