BUFFET OF SNACKS

[sally]

I ask every year. I've made your uncle's wings before but this time it's just going to be some simple snacks. I have some friends coming over late Christmas morning and they are only staying for a very few hours. Drinks, snacks, gift giving. I'm going to do something with prosciutto and dates (or figs). I have a shit ton of different cheeses and crackers/dips and as I was wandering around the deli I saw some cherry peppers, I think they were, stuffed with ham& cheese, I'm going to get some of those. After I read your idea about the shrimp I decided I may do that too. I'm not doing anything elaborate, I doubt I'll even really get dressed, I'll be in loungewear.

If they're coming over late Christmas morning you could do brunch. That's another thing I wish someone would invite me over for. The possibilities are endless what you can do for brunch and a lot of it can be made ahead of time like quiche and casseroles.

Also be sure to have a bloody mary bar with all the fixins.
