If something goes wrong (and it always does) never let 'em see you sweat. So the turkey burns, or red wine is spilt on the couch or the cat launches a lugee on the dance floor when everyone's rockin around the Christmas tree. Know that a gracious host stays calm under pressure.

'Hostess with the mostess' is basically similar to 'host with the most'. Mostess doesn't have a proper meaning. It is just said to rhyme with "Hostess", for the sake of complementing a female. Photo canvas prints
