I had thought that I would tell you all about how inexpensively I put on our Christmas Dinner, and have realized that the concept would be better if I told you how YOU can entertain in a very special way, on a small budget!
The best way is to make it LOOK as special as you can! Pretty plates, pedestals, bowls, etc. We actually ate off of paper plates for our Christmas dinner, but all the food was presented in an fun, special way.
Here is photo of the desserts. The pedestal plates make things look so fun....while they are very simple treats! 
Signs are key! Like the one announcing that a certain dessert was sugar and gluten free for all our guests who could not have it otherwise. It was simply a free download from the Internet, but made it special. My husband made the clips that held the sign out of scrap wood. He made 10 for me at a total cost of $2!
Now, all of my special plates, etc. are things that I have picked up over the years or were given to me as gifts. I have VERY little invested, but I do have an area in my basement to store all these items, so I do not take up valuable cabinet space on things that I use only 6 or 7 times a year...you will need to decide how much you can have, and shop (yes, even at the thrift stores!) accordingly.
There are many things that can be MADE into something special, and I will talk about that process another day....but use your imagination, as there are limitless possibilities!!
