Our annual White Christmas Party was a success!
Remember this is the party where we eat when they eat.
Using our new website for the Francom Family Traditions (I explain this in an earlier post) I was able to organize the party better than before. Next year it will also be easier to plan because I will have everything already laid out for me.
The movie is going for about 14 mins before any food or drink is introduced. Since everyone is pretty hungry when we start the show I usually have an appetizer to hold them over.
This year I used a pepper and onion relish by Harry and David mixed with cream cheese and served with crackers. It was gone before I thought to take a picture of it.

When Judy and Betty are in the dressing room they also have a hot beverage so the Hot Chocolate is still on the menu.
The first sign of food is when Bob and Phil go to check out the sister act at a club. You have to really be paying attention to catch them eating but it is there.
While the sheriff is eating and Bob and Phil are preforming the sister act we had a mini meal of green beans, duchess potatoes and meat balls.
Bob, Phil, Betty and Judy are in the dining car of the train where they enjoy Lemon-Aid, Club Sandwiches and a Malt. We usually like to serve a
White Christmas Punch that is slushy and sweet. But this year we were running a little behind so we skipped it. I got a few complaints afterward.

Their first night at the inn while the girls are preforming their sister act again, we have tomato soup and a vegetable tray.
Buttermilk and sandwiches are the late night snack. Most of my family does not like buttermilk so we substitute egg nog. I keep the sandwiches small since we have already eaten a lot.
Phil and Judy roast hot dogs for lunch during rehearsals. I serve mini hot dogs or a hot dog cut in thirds.
For the ending dessert we chose an apple chip cake this year that wasn't too sweet. Topping it with whip cream also cut back on the sweetness and everyone loved it.
By the end of the evening everyone was full and satisfied.
Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas without our White Christmas Party!
