The past couple of years my wife has served "all appetizers" for Christmas. Cheese platter and crackers, lot of fresh veggies and Hidden Valley dill dip, lot's of fresh berries, assorted pickles, olives including things like pickled dill carrots, pickle baby beets, pickled asparagus, pickle baby corm. The center piece is a large tray of cold boiled shrimp.
The grandkids like it because they can have a little bit of everything they like and most of them like the shrimp ! Of course she make homemade apple and pumpkin pie for dessert !!
