How to Plan a Fun-in-the-Snow Party

There's a little bit of child in all of us when there's snow on the ground, and there's nothing like a good winter white romp to bring it out.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Gloves
• Coats
• Buttered Rum
• Casserole Ingredients
• Mulled Wines
• Party Snacks
• Cross-country Skis
• Skates
• Sleds
• cider

1. Be prepared to be spontaneous ' unless you live in the far North where you can count on fields of white all winter, this is usually a spur-of-the-moment party.
2. Make a few hearty casseroles and stash them in your freezer early in the season.
3. Lay in a supply of party snacks and the makings of your favorite winter libations, such as hot buttered rum, mulled wine or cider.
4. Take an inventory of your cold-weather gear and make sure boots, coats and gloves will be ready when you need them ' as well as skates, sleds and cross-country skis.
5. Greet the first heavy snowfall with a whoop of joy as you rush to the telephone.
6. Call your most fun-loving friends and ask them to bundle up and meet you for a day of skiing, sledding, building snowmen - or simply a long walk in the snow.
7. Warm up back at your place over a casual dinner, hot drinks and a holiday sing-along.

Tips & Warnings

• If you entertain frequently - or would like to - your best friends, especially at holiday time, are a well-stocked freezer, pantry and bar.
