Creating a Holiday party that looks catered without having a catering crew in the kitchen (not to mention the expense) might seem like quite a trick. But with these make ahead recipes, it's no trick at all. Even the busiest homemaker* can prepare these festive refreshments in advance so she* can serve her guests graciously.
*homemaker a term used in the 50s and 60s to describe the female mother wife figure in the home that spent most of her time in the home, creating a warm loving beautiful place to come to for her family and her guests. Key element is she did not work outside of the home, homemaking was a career.
*she this position, was primarily dominated by the female population in the 50s and 60s! I would love that job!
