    What great ideas! Tailgating staples include good food, great friends, refreshing drinks, and maybe a bit of music. Football season coincides so nicely with the holiday season, so any party tips and tricks are much appreciated and can be well-adapted for just about any holiday party. Thanks for sharing!
