Earlier in the evening, I hosted an international type holiday party and invited people to attend. I asked that they bring a nontraditional dish to pass, because it's more fun to mix it up.
We had various neighbors, relatives, church friends and more attend, and it was a great social gathering.
One of the neighbors brought home made Italian wafer cookies that had a hint of anise flavor in it called pizelle. Another neighbor brought two different types of dip and some nacho chips. One of the pastors came with Tanzanian curry rice which was absolutely delicious! My mom brought home made Japanese style egg-rolls, which are always awesome. Someone else brought shrimp cocktail, and another pastor brought mini cream puffs.
I made 2 of my favorite things, guacamole and goulash - though if you add sour cream to the goulash, it turns into paprikash. We had an evening full of good company, and it was nice to get to know a few of our neighbors as well.
Hopefully, next year, we can host this again, and have a bigger gathering. It was really fun.

Wow!!! This holiday party really sounds fun and interesting. I will also throw a holiday party at one of Chicago event venues. Have been taking lovely ideas from friends for the day. As have never arranged such event before.
