Tis’ the season right….people in and out, food being served and enjoyed, friends laughing over liquid libations (or maybe from libations…)….Oh the fun! So, to give you some more fabulous ideas…I thought it would be fun to see what else Martha has up her sleeves in her newest book.
Here is the book description:
In this exquisite and very personal book, Martha Stewart welcomes you into her world, where she entertains in the expressive and beautiful style that she has made so famous. Whether a simple blueberry breakfast on a Sunday morning in Maine or a more lavish holiday dinner at Bedford, each of the gatherings is equally memorable, for what Martha cherishes above all is spending time and sharing delicious food with her family and friends.
“A meal of substantial finger foods with ingenious cocktails, a sit-down formal dinner, a buffet supper, or something more relaxed such as a backyard barbecue—each is a welcome and inviting way to entertain,” writes Martha. Featuring elegant and casual affairs held throughout the year and a diverse collection of enticing recipes, Martha’s Entertaining shows us—in the broadest and most lovely fashion—what it really means to entertain and host today. From an afternoon Easter egg hunt for children to a festive Halloween dinner held inside her horse stable; from a sophisticated cocktail party on a friend’s yacht in New York Harbor to a spring garden fête amid the most glorious beds of peonies, Martha’s parties offer a glimpse inside her beautiful homes. Each is unforgettable and endlessly inspiring.
So here’s the low down, down low…whatever…you know what I mean…

Everyone usually comes over to my house! I need this book :)
I entertain and love it!
My mother has decided it's time for me to host Christmas. So I want to do it up right. I usually host a holiday get together of some sort for my girlfriends, but these are getting a bit stale and need a pickmeup. So pick me!!
We do a little of both! We host Thanksgiving and do Christmas at someone else's house!
I follow you on FB!
I follow you on Facebook and love your posts. We host parties at the holidays and over the summer.

I love to entertain during the holidays! Martha's books are great inspiration.
I am a FB follower.
I prefer to entertain myself. Sometimes one needs to be a guest…but the most fun is in the doing and seeing people enjoy what you have prepared for them!
I love to entertain and decorate for the holidays, but unfortunately I've not been passed the torch to hold dinner at my house yet. For now we celebrate at my mother's!
I love to entertain but I really cant count on my family to come so I usually make a huge meal and make everything all nice just for my husband and daughter. They love it and so do I but we always have way to much food. Thanks, [email protected]
I follow you on twitter. Thanks, [email protected]

I will be entertaining for Thanksgiving and possibly for Christmas. Which is funny because I prefer to be be the entertained. When I entertain I get too nervous about whether our guest like my food, have what they want or need instead of enjoying the company. My husband loves to entertain and I'm trying to ease up, enjoy and be a better hostess.

I would love to entertain over the Holidays but don't know where to begin. I'm sure Martha could help me out. [email protected]
I love to entertain during the holidays–my house doesn't allow for too many people, but I will so try and pull it off. I also love being invited to others. I love a good party.
I follow on facebook.
My mom does all of the holiday entertaining, I love going home to all of my favorite foods from when I was younger!
Bisous,
Rachel
I love to have people over. Decorating is half the fun of having people over, esp. if it is the holiday season. Put some Christmas music on and I'm ready to go!

Love to have company for Christmas Eve. Love
to entertain and decorate. This book would be such a great help!
Oh I have heard so much about Martha and now will investigate. Great help!
I love to entertain, but somehow what is envisioned in my head never seems to come to be. I guess I will just keep practicing until it comes out right.
Now that I'm newly married I suspect I'll be entertaining a lot more. I can't wait! This book would really help.
I follow on Facebook!
I love hosting…Everything. :) finnskimo at gmail dot com
Oh, and I follow you on Facebook! :) (finnskimo at gmail dot com)
We entertain a lot, and host both Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house. My husband and I love it!
I love to entertain in our home for the holidays!
I follow you on Facebook :-)
We usually go elsewhere for the holidays but this year it is my turn so this will be perfect!! [email protected]
We do both – some entertaining and some going out. I would love this book!

We take turns hosting holidays. This year for Thanksgiving, I am making the pies – six of them!!

I would love to entertain, but I'm living far from family and dear friends. I'm starting to branch out here more, but with a tiny apartment entertaining is out for a while. But until my hosting days resume I'm a great guest who helps out with any tasks my hostess may need done!

I always feel so inadequate when I entertain – I don't really know why? I mean, I don't expect others to be perfect when they invite me over, why do I feel like I have to be? This definitely puts a cramp in my entertaining style! But I love to be the guest that everyone wants to invite because I help/do/clean and they always want me back! neldacnm at yahoo
My daughter and I are just embarking on a new adventure of Party Planning and Catering. I think this book would give us many inspirational and helpful ideas so I'm hoping we can win! :)
