Ready or not...It's Christmas!!

 Santa's been here already...so glad to be done with shopping and wrapping!!

 I love bringing out my Santa collection...my Oma gave me this one and just love him!

 The table is all set!  I try to do as much ahead of time so that I can enjoy the company too!

 My wedding china Lenox "Tyler."  Hey, gotta pull out the good stuff once in awhile!!

 And the St. Nicholas my late mother-in-law painted in her ceramics class...beautiful piece!

 I can't wait until we sit around the table for our feast of turkey and prime rib...it will be a tight fit with 8...not able to attend is my daughter Kara who is working hard at her job at Stanford University hospital...sure will miss her!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!!  And a Happy New Year in 2012!!!
