Abundant     Seasons

If you’ve ever started your day by hitting snooze three times, spilling your coffee, and racing out the door only to feel behind before breakfast — you’re not alone.

This year, why not add a few creative touches to your gathering? Whether your group is big or small, here are seven fun ways to keep everyone smiling — long after the dishes are done.
