Unless you want to end up with six black forest cakes and four mashed potatoes on the big night, do delegate wisely. However, be very specific if you intend to go down this route. Cheese fondue, scalloped potatoes, pomegranate salad, honey-glazed ham, and corn pudding, are all traditional yet homey recipes. Unless you know all your guests’ tastes and dietary restrictions, avoid anything over-the-top. Choose to play traditional games instead of gifting games (that might cost your guests, too). Go for Grandma’s tablecloths and mismatched china instead of buying multiple items from the Dollar Tree. Opt for cocoa with a variety of toppings instead of alcohol. It’s easy to justify your need for the baby pink reindeer statuette but if it’s NOT on the list, don’t make the purchase. Resist the urge! When in doubt, take out the list. As days roll by and you begin shopping, you may be tempted to buy something unnecessary. It’s also easier to make a budget once you see how everything looks like. From the tablecloths and centerpieces, to goodie bags and games, jot it down for reference. But with enough planning, it’s possible to host a memorable Christmas party at home. You may need to pare down your guest list (along with some trimmings!). How To Plan a Budget-Friendly Christmas Party So is the office party the only one we’ll be attending this year? But with everything that’s been going on, we’re usually strapped for cash this time of month.

Admit it: we’re all chumps when it comes to merry-making.
