Hosting the holidays is a lovely idea and a lot of work. Someone has to count the beds, plan the food, work out the budget and still enjoy the day. Too often that someone is you, and the plan is in your head.
This planner puts it on paper. You will decide who is coming, where everyone sleeps, what everyone eats, what it costs, and who does which job. Then you can relax and be a guest at your own party. It works for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid, a long weekend with family, or any gathering that has people staying and a big meal. It is written for households in the United States.
