Most Christmas fixin’s are planned weeks ahead so guests will always be welcome and snacks and holiday cookies are always on hand. However, all the delicious foods shouldn’t be reserved for guests. You’ll find it’s as much fun to have some surprise snacks when your family is home watching TV in the evening. And while everyone is decorating the Christmas tree or wrapping gifts they'll love steaming chocolate to drink with tasty Christmas snacks to nibble on. Simple, easy to make snack foods become some thing special when they’re radiating from a snowball centerpiece you can make yourself. You'll find the white plastic foam balls hold party picks firmly in place and Christmas greens and decorative tree balls add a festive touch to the tablepiece. Use it for a party buffet or on the coffee table for before-dinner hors d’oeuvres. Fresh garden Towers re placing the evergreen make it a year around decoration. At your own family party serve gay miniature kabobs on multi colored toothpicks. Skewer one stuffed olive, a minced ham cube, and a cheese circle all topped with a tangy pickled onion. Be sure to .have plenty of (^rearn cheese balls rolled in bits of dried beef and crown other picks with party sausage and all-time favorites, carrot curls and ripe olives. You’ll find the lightweight plastic foam used for the snack holder in sheet form and balls at your local variety store. For the circular base invert a dinner plat" on a one-inch thick sheet and cut around it with a sharp paring knife. Then with adhesive glue or tooth picks attach the large half bell (also cut in half with a knife) to the base. For extra sparkle bijush glue on the balls and sprinkle with glitter. ’' Parade Chairman Thanks Participants W. C.
