Last Minute Entertaining Ideas & Simple Touches for Christmas!

Hello Again & Merry Christmas!!

We just had our Christmas gathering and I thought

I would share some last minute tips with all of you!

Set up a coffee station so guests can feel comfortable to get a cup of coffee anytime!

 We had a small gathering with family...I had a buffet style setting...
but I still wanted to use my Christmas China.
So here's how I set up mine...
I used paper napkins but I put them inside a pretty wire basket...
the silverware was placed inside a glass canister...
I placed a red cloth napkin inside the canister to give it some color...
I folded my table cloth to look like a table runner...to give it a more casual feel!

And for Dessert:

 I stacked up my 2 cake plate stands, placed a small

cup cake stand on top...I had a little chef doll

so I added him right after I added a

little flour to the bottom!

And since the heart of the home is the kitchen...don't forget to

add some little touches up above...garland and lights

make the room warm and inviting!

I even put some of my crochet pieces on display...

So show off your work and be proud of your creations...

I'm repeating the words my husband said to me! :-)

And here is my sweet husband helping me

with some of the cooking!

Speaking of sweet we did an Ornament Exchange

and here is what my sweet sister in law made for us....

I'm the Angel and my hubby is Santa...

Truly these are ornaments that will be hung on our tree every year 

and cherished forever...so thank you so much Diana...we love you!

It was wonderful spending time together eating, drinking and laughing!

I hope all of you have a Wonderful and Happy Christmas!
