This time of year gets a bad wrap when really, we love staying home watching the awards show and this Sunday's premiere event, the Super Bowl.
We have no skin in the game, but we'll be sure to use it an excuse to invite our neighborhood over for a casual gathering to comment on the commercials and indulge in our favorite snacks.

Most of the day will take place in front of the TV in the living room, but when guests get hungry, we'll have snacks sprawled on the kitchen island and a few place settings for kids and parents to rotate in and out.
Bret's favorite beer and crowd-pleasing apps are good when you need something in a pinch. Setting individual cereal size bowls out makes the snack spread look all the more enticing, even if it is store-bought. Our favorite is under $20 and will easily lend themselves to other events and occasions.
And nobody will be mad if you bust out a bottle of bubbles. Life's short; make celebrating a priority! We're using our go-to coupes, this wine bottle opener (or this as a more casual option at under $20) and our favorite cocktail napkin set.
