Here in the South, we are kind hearted and well mannered. We make an effort to show that in every social aspect of our lives. No matter the occasion, hosts can turn any gathering into a lavish and memorable affair. Southern etiquette isn't a thing of the past. A host never lets your glass go empty, and works to make every person in her home feel as though they are special.
When you enter a home where Southern hospitality flourishes you will know because you will probably see flowers on the front porch and in the centerpiece of the table. Delicious food is at the heart of every gathering and a good place setting is extremely important. There is a warm feeling of overflowing love for friends, family, and even strangers when you walk into the room.
