Cheers! It is officially Holiday Party Season. Whether you are hosting friends to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, having the family over for Christmas or attending a party at someone else’s home, a visit to Carmel Plaza is a must to help you prepare.
Below are three key things to consider when you are hosting or attending a holiday party this month.
1. Festive Home Décor
