Sorry for the time away folks.  Sometimes, it's nice to take a bit of a break.

This week, we'll focus on Winter (mostly because I am freezing to death right now). Winter provides a lot of great opportunities to gather friends together.  Here are some of my favorites:

• Super Bowl Party
• Oscar (or Grammy) Party
• Valentine's Day Party (for a special someone or for your single friends)
• A craft party (gather your friends together to work on all those projects you've been meaning to get to)
• An old-fashioned sleepover for grownups (pull out the sleeping bags, eat comfort food, and watch silly movies)
• Have a snow party (start with breakfast and then go to a nearby resort area to ski or snow board or tube and then gather back for soup and warms drinks and indulgent desserts)
• Mardi Gras

What will you celebrate this winter?
