Meet early at the home of the Hostess for breakfast treats, juice and coffee, keep it simple, you don't want to weigh yourselves down with too much food, you've got much to do!

Let's go shopping!

Now you're feeling good and ready to go, so finalize your shopping list's, map out exactly where you will be going and begin the day with some morning Christmas Shopping.

What's for Lunch?

Have lunch at a favorite restaurant, again, eat light, you've still got to shop!

More Shopping?

Yes, "Shop till you Drop", take advantage of the fun you are having and get all the shopping done that you can.

Okay, feet are tired and everyone is shopped out, so what's next?

Only the best part of the whole day...

Again everyone meet at the home of the Hostess (the same breakfast hostess or pick another).

Each person should bring with them to the evening Hostess's home, your own fluffy bathrobe, slippers, favorite nail polish & holiday CD. Relax a bit, grab something to drink, have some snacks, get comfy, pop in some CD's and head to the kitchen to make homemade beauty recipes. Whip up some facials and try some hand & foot treatments for manicures and pedicures. Make a bunch and try them on each other, have fun! Don't forget about the favorite nail polish you brought along, polish each others fingers and toes too. Have a stack of wash clothes and towels on hand.

Now it's time to really eat!

You've gotten a great deal accomplished today, you're relaxed and you feel great, now all you have to do is eat and watch your favorite chick flick DVD or classic Holiday movie.

For your dinning pleasure, have each person bring something, order pizza or some other type of take-out feast! Don't forget to save room for the Ice Cream Sundae Bar with all the yummy toppings.

Okay, so now do you stay all snuggled in your robe and spend the night at the home of your gracious Hostess, or do you get dressed and go home? I'll leave that up to you (and your Hostess of course), I know what I would want to do.....zzzzzz I hope you all enjoyed the day :)

A bit of Pre-Planning is a must for a productive day which flows with ease. Consider the events taking place at the home of the Hostess(es)

For instance, for breakfast, what will you have? Will the hostess provide food & beverage or would a couple people like to bring some breakfast treats while the Hostess provides juice & coffee?

Who will do the driving, you may need to take multiple vehicles for all those packages! Make a list of where you will be shopping in the order you plan to execute. Copy this list (very important) and give to each driver or driver's assistant so there is no mix up and everyone is where they should be.

At the end of the day when you arrive at the home of the Hostess for your evening event, what would you all like to eat? Will everyone bring something, like some rich gooey appetizers, a dish to pass, pizza or take out from a favorite restaurant? Have some different beverages like eggnog, hot apple cider & herbal teas. And the Ice Cream Sundae Bar, will everyone bring their favorite toppings or will they be provided by the Hostess? One idea is to have the Hostess supply the Beverages, the simple ingredients for the Beauty Recipes, Ice Cream Bar & Toppings. Once you decide what to eat, everyone else could each bring something or chip in on the take out food including some munchies!
