~ Twas the night before Christmas ~

Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house
not a creature was stirring


except for a yellow dog 
with Reindeer antlers on her head.

The goodies have all been baked

with that touch of citrus that always smells like Christmas to me.

The Chandelier draped with greenery

The table was set in it's Red and White finery
in hopes that Grand children soon would be here

The big Guy himself was the main theme this year

with a Santa at every place setting

With touches of Silver here and there

mismatched vintage silver trays serve as chargers

The silver is picked up by the vintage Art-Deco wine glasses
 handed down to me
by Mr/ Wonderful's Mother.

With a nod of approval from an angel watching over the dining room festivities

The only thing left to do now, is wait for Saint Nicholas
to make his appearance.

So from The Dressed Up Cottage:

Merry Christmas to all
And to all a Good Night
