Create a respite from this busy season by hosting a Christmas tea. Depending on your neighborhood size and home accommodations, this may be a large or small event. Hand-deliver invitations, and make sure you personally invite each woman. No formal presentation is needed, but take the time to search the Internet for a special seasonal sweet such as scones and clotted creams or homemade breads. Spread your table with festive plates and linens, light a few candles, and play some Christmas music to create a warm and inviting environment. Your guests will love an afternoon away from the hectic schedule that Christmastime can bring. Pour some tea, and engage in friendly conversation while getting to know the women who live near you. An afternoon of tea and sweets is sure to yield a personal connection you didn’t have before. Within a week after the tea, set a future lunch date with one or two women with whom you felt the greatest connection. By establishing this commitment right away, a meaningful relationship will have a greater chance of developing. share this article 1 of 1 /// Related Articles Prepare Your Home...
