Sandie was incredibly excited at the beginning of this holiday season. And while this might come as a surprise to some people, the reason for it was that she volunteered to host the holiday work party at her house. She had only moved into her new home the year before and one of her biggest desires in purchasing the house was to install an incredible backyard kitchen area so she would be able to host events like the holiday party. She had recently completed the work and was so proud of it and excited to share the space with others that she presented the idea to her company fun committee before discussions of the party had even entered the office.
Fortunately, most of the food was going to be brought in the form of potluck. Sandie was prepared for it and had ample counter space as well as a nice refrigerator and food warmer. She added these as optional features hoping to have just such a reason to use them. The built in barbeque grills that were included with the island model she chose would be perfect for grilling the chicken breasts she planned to serve.
As the day approached Sandie began decorating the outdoor area. She had a beautiful rose garden off to the side and she placed lights and sculptured decorations in the garden. She also put wreathes and berries along the fireplace mantel as well as placed smaller ones on the table and counter area. She had scented candles that would create a great introductory ambiance though she knew the smell of foods would quickly overtake it. The night of the party she was so excited that her dream had actually come true and she was hosting her first party in her beautiful outdoor kitchen and dining area. And while she loved rain, she greatly hoped that on that evening the sky would remain clear and the stars would shine.
