My neighbor Marie's house was normally pretty, but it was instantly, easily and magically transformed into a wonderland as a result of this holiday party. With each guest came desserts, candles and beautifully-varied special candelabra.
I was a guest also of course, myself, husband and daughter, all dudded up in our fancy clothes, carefully carrying gathered crystal candle holders and long, tall tapered white candles and . . . my dessert offering, a delicious peach cobbler and ice cream. Each neighbor did the same and the results were enchanting.
Marie's lovely house was lit up with beautiful candles and exquisite and fun holders and sweet offerings of cake, pie, brownies, cookies. Spread 
throughout her living and dining areas, the collection of luminescence and delectables was a feast for the eyes and pallet.

It was a great holiday party concept: easy to do, beautiful and good refreshments. What could be better?
"Sweetie, how does Morocco sound? It could be a second honeymoon!"
"Uuummm ..... hummmm. The Villas Doradas in the Dominican Republic looks tempting also. How shall a girl decide?"
