What a delightful, charming book this is. I had a smile on my face the whole time reading it. Maribeth had me chuckling as she brought back childhood holiday memories. It all began as she wrote about St. Patrick’s Day and wearing green so we don’t get pinched. The nostalgia went on from there. Does anyone remember Easter bonnets?Sophisticated is another word to describe what you will find with the tablescapes and flower arrangements. Not only are there great recipes that include how and when to prepare them, but there are entertainment suggestions for your guests as well. There is absolutely nothing that I can think of that has been left out for a smoothly run, successful holiday dinner party, including reminders of when to clean your house 3 days beforehand and to make sure you have enough ice the day before.I purchased Maribeth’s previous book, Sweets for Your Sweetie: Delectable Dainties for Valentine's Day Made Easy!, so I knew this one would be a great find too.
