Last night was our official Christmas gathering for the Lit-N-Latte' Book Club.

I filled my little Snowman with hot water and served a variety of teas, cocoa,
cider and, of course, a pot of coffee with some Italian Sweet Cream.

Doesn't it look great in the wreath?

I think that I mentioned that in years past we would have a tree in this room as well as the formal living room. We broke it up this year and did one big tree.

I'm ok with it.
But I will probably be more okay with it when I don't have to take
2 full size trees down this year.

Every thing is so pretty. I bet you had fun. I would love to join a book club but the ones here are during the day when I work. I would have no idea how to run one.
Merry Christmas
