It may be hard to imagine because we’re still experiencing such warm temperatures in the South, but it’s time to face that sometimes dreaded phrase that somehow seems to sneak up on us every year at around this very time, “The holidays are fast approaching!”
It can potentially be a time for moments of great stress: dusting off those trundle beds to host the out-of-town guests, scrambling to get all the ingredients to make our family favorites, hunting down that perfect gift for each of our loved-ones, wrapping until we’re buried in piles of shredded papers and ribbons of all colors, busting out the boxes of decorations until it looks like a Christmas, Hanukah, or Kwanzaa bomb—or perhaps a combination thereof—has exploded all over every surface of our living spaces.
Despite it all, like many others, I absolutely adore the holiday season. And food being one of my favorite subjects, imagine my glee when given the assignment to help our readers find some great venues right in our own proverbial backyard, that would make hosting our 2019 holiday parties a cinch! I may or may not have squealed with delight, just a little.
Here are some of the fantastic places I’ve scoped-out and I’m happy to share with you the low-down on each one. I tried to include a variety of locations, to meet whatever your holiday party needs may be; corporate, family, child-friendly, elegant, casual—you name it.
I think there’s something here for everyone. I’ll take you on my research and discovery journey of some favorite local businesses that could be fantastic places to host your holiday events. May this holiday season be your happiest one yet. Wishing you all that feel-good, nostalgic sensitivity that can only come from watching holiday movies in perpetuity on every TV set in the house for the next few months!
