Holiday Party photos!

Happy Holidays to all!
As promised, here are some pictures from the holiday party I recently had at my house. This party was for friends and staff members who work at my farm and home in Bedford, NY.

A perfect Ham (It is the new Kirkland Signature Martha Stewart Favorite Holiday Ham that is available at Costco Wholesale warehouses nationwide!)

Stollen Bread from Balthazar's

Gardeners Jodi and Erika are finding something very very amusing

What would a holiday party be without potato Latkes?

Alfredo seems very proud displaying the oysters that he has helped to prepared

Eliad, my assistant seems to really be a jack of all trades! He was able to play most of the Carols by ear!

Hi Martha, Your party looks very inviting and the house is immaculate. Not to mention the ham from Cosco, I am going to take out a membership to be able to buy your products. I know it will be worth it in order to purchase your food items.

I received your Housekeeping Handbook as one of my Christmas gifts..what a beautiful book.

I loved your program with your Mom, maybe sometime you will repeat it.

Enjoy your Christmas today and have a Happy New Year.

Love your blog.

Hi Martha, How special of you to take the time to fulfill your promise! Oh, how I wish I could bring my "kids" to play with yours and join your marvelous party. It looks like everyone was having a wonderful time. The ham looks just like the one I got at our Costco here in the Seattle area. It is soooo good! Have a great vacation. Jan

Happy Holidays to you, Martha, and all your family and friends. Thanks for posting pictures of your party at the farm and the ham, stollen, potato latkes, oysters, and eggnog served. Everyone does appear to be having a very good time.
As Joan mentioned, a repeat of the program with your Mom would be appreciated by many. She touched--and touches still--the hearts of many.
Merry Christmas!

Thank you for sharing so much- and not only at Christmas! Really like your blog! I was wondering if the books on the last picture are just cookbooks??!
Happy Holidays,
Dominique

Thanks for sharing the photos. I have often wondered how many people you employ at your home and farm. I enjoy meeting each one of your talented staff members.

Martha you are the best, I admire your strength.

[PAULINE MUCCIACCIO]

Looks like a good time was had by all at your party. I think you have a better time & are more comfortable without having shoes on, as I noticed your guests adhering to your no shoes allowed rule.
Regards,
Pauline Mucciaccio
PS
Another plus for not wearing shoes
your wood floors get a nice buffing with such a large group of people in stocking feet!

[Betsy Kleger]

Thanks for the photos, Martha. I have to tell you that I made the cashmere/silk scarf (with the button hole that you pull the end of the scarf through) for my sister for Christmas. She loved it. I just love all of the crafting you show us, especially the sewing. Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas to you as well! I've finished a 25 day celebration on my blog so today now that family has gone and life is once again quieter--- in the interlude between festivity and the clean up--- I'm wathing TiVo'ed Martha's and knitting.

Your party? Looks wonderful, I think the eggnog helped! :) LOVE that eggnog recipe, I've made it since Entertaining first came out!

[Gloria Herring]

Everything looks so festive and everyone seems to be having a good time, but...why is everyone wearing their coats and heavy sweaters? Martha, did you turn the heat off? :-)
Keep up the good work, I am enjoying it.
Thanks, Gloria

Dearest Martha... i rec'd your Classic's cookbook for Xmas...i ended up with 2 of them =) i was so excited to receive the book. Sorry to say that one of your recipes listed in the idex is not in the book. It shows as page 49...312-313.. Lasagna with Wild Mushrooms and Spinach .. thought you would want to know.

My prayers go out to you and your family with the loss of your mother... what a great lady...

<3 Katie

Happy Holidays, Martha. It was very thoughtful of you to invite your staff to your home for a holiday party. I had the pleasure of attending your show In NYC while my husband was at a meeting and I was truly amazed by your set..so beautiful. Thank you for the set of towels. They are so luxurious! I hope you have a nice holiday. Brenda

I rented your Holiday DVD this year and everytime I walked in the room before bed, my husband was watching. He said he loves your show because it is so *relaxing* for him! My children (8 & 5) were also mezmerized and wanted to get started on all of your projects right away.
