I realize Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but that doesn't mean you can't use some last-minute tips to make the holiday as stress-free as possible! I've teamed up with Bob Evans and The Motherhood to bring you some sage advice from Lizzie Post, the great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post and co-author of Emily Post’s Etiquette 18th edition.
Holiday Help from the Farm combines the wisdom and beliefs of Bob Evans, whose life was dedicated to hospitality, with the renown and knowledge of The Emily Post Institute, to take the stress out of the holidays and keep the focus on what matters: time with family and friends.
Top Holiday Tips from Lizzie Post:
- Plan in advance so you can enjoy the holiday, greet each guest as they arrive, and make everyone feel special and appreciated.
- Mentally prepare yourself to roll with the punches. Things always go wrong but as long as you remain calm, your holiday event will be a success.
- Keep your focus on your friends and family. It doesn’t matter if the turkey burns or the table is not set to perfection, the most important thing is that your guests feel welcome.
