Christmas Fun

I finally wrapped presents for under our Christmas tree, and Toula was such a good bunny and helped me out!She just loved this ribbon and had the best time tugging on it and throwing it up in the air and running with it in her mouth, and I had the best time watching her! I was really happy with how the presents turned out this year - plaid paper with red ribbons...
The Christmas tree always looks so much better with presents under it!
Last night, Charles and I invited Mama and Jerry to have Christmas snacks with us. We had a great time!
We turned on the Christmas lights both outside...
and inside...
I added some holly and berries from our yard to Ma's tea cart to make it even more festive...
and made sure that all of the snacks were ready and was excited to pull out our large 'Tis the Season plates.

We had Christmas punch which is always delicious!
I set up the island...with a cheese log, Jolly Cheese Ring, Ham-Cheese Ball, Peanut Butter Kisses Cookies, Sweet Nothings, iced sugar cookies, lemon cookies, fudge and Christmas Crunch...
We also had baked ham and cheese sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls and party weenies...
All of the snacks we had each year when I was growing up - plus a couple of new extras!

Our hollies are just filled with berries this year. They look so Christmasy, so I clipped a few branches along with a few springs of evergreen and made a Christmasy arrangement...
Mama and Jerry said that they had a great time and really enjoyed the snacks...
They were so sweet to bring me a present...
Christmas accent plates for my china. I was so excited! I can't wait to set my dinning room table. They are just going to look so good in there!
