Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Wow! Isn’t it hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us? Chrismas is in the air! The smells, the tastes, the decorations and the holiday cheer! I love the Christmas season! It is a time to enjoy all of the traditions with family and friends that we bring out once a year.

The Natchez Garden Club’s Victorian Luncheon is a delightful buffet featuring foods prepared by the Natchez Garden Club members.

For starters, guests will enjoy Magnolia Hall’s famous corn chowder. The menu also includes finger sandwiches of all kinds, brisket, chicken salad, pimento and cheese, and bacon and green onion.

Along with this, you can look forward to stuffed eggs, hot onion soufflé, assorted dips and many other savory goodies. Desserts include homemade chess squares, lemon bars and Magnolia Hall’s cocoons. Hot-spiced tea, sparkling punch or fresh lemon water will finish off this fantastic meal.

To-go plates will be available as well as delivery upon request.

In addition, there will be a casserole sale on the back porch of Magnolia Hall. Here you can pick up those delicious casseroles made by our Natchez Garden Club members.

I couldn’t think of a better way to simplify the holiday season, especially for when those unexpected guests find their way to your door!

We will also be drawing for door prizes, so be sure your name gets into Santa’s cap.

From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, take your lunch hour and come enjoy the festivities at Magnolia Hall for the Natchez Garden Club’s Victorian Luncheon.

Come one, come all, bosses treat your employees, and join us for great food, some delightful entertainment, and get into the Christmas spirit!

Dress casual or come in your holiday attire. We will be there looking for you!
