Christmas
6. Do provide bowls for pits, tails and shells. No one likes hovering at a party, cupping a yucky olive pit or shrimp tail in hand because there is no obvious place to put it. Spare your guests that awkwardness by placing plenty of little bowls near the food in question — and it wouldn't hurt to set an example by being the first to dispose of something. If you are the guest, try to scope out a place to stash your trash before you grub.
