Veteran's Day Party Tips

With tomorrow being Veteran's Day, I thought that I might take a moment now to provide you with some fun Veteran's Day party ideas. So here goes:

• Pot lucks are always a Veteran's Day favorite. Not only are potlucks a cheap party idea, but with everyone bringing something different there's also a certain sense of community and home that really does illustrate the importance of our veterans. Plus – clean up is a snap since everyone will take their dirty dishes home with them... It's win, win!
  
  
• Since our country is so diverse, why not take this opportunity to celebrate that diversity by hosting an ethnic food tasting? Many veterans have quite the adventurous side, especially when it comes to food! So pick up an ethnic food cookbook and try something new. (Just be certain to avoid any cuisines that might bring back some bad memories for your veteran guests. It's not so much fun when one of the veterans starts crying in the Kimchi...)
  
  
• Decorating for Veteran's Day is a cinch – just dig out your Fourth of July decorations and hang them up wherever you can. And if you don't have Fourth of July decorations, then dig out every Santa Claus ornament you have and paint his normally red hat a festive shade of be-starred blue.
  
  
• And lastly, when getting dressed for any Veteran's Day activities, be certain to leave those flag-inspired undergarments in your dresser. Aside from the fact that many veterans find those red, white, and blue boxers offensive (especially when they're riding up your – HELLO!), it's also a little too chilly now to be showing off such clothes. So display the red, white, and blue... just be modest about it.

Happy Veteran's Day!
