Appitizers for a gathering??

What kind of appitizers are your favorites?? Which apps would you choose before Christmas dinner??? I decided to purchase 2 boxes of Williams and Sonoma's assorted Empanadas, Shrimp cocktail and i think i'll make mushroom brusetta I found in a Bon Appetit magazine. I tend to go crazy on the apps so i will serve only three different kinds for a party of 10. Main entree a smoked 14 pound Ham with a mustard/chutney glaze from "Barefoot Contessa" Cookbook with homemade biscuits, potato gratin and Brocolli with a Sonoma hot pepper jack cheese fondue on top. Dessert is a choice between a Yule log cake, midnight Dream CHOC torte , Coconut Passion cake, Pumpkin Pie with fresh whipped cream with vanilla and assorted Petits fours. Drink?? Take your pick..full bar..champagne to martinis to Guiness to Baileys
