Christmas Day at My Parents

Christmas has come and gone.  The paper has long since been stuffed in the trash but it was oh so beautiful while it lasted.  Here are some photos of my parent's house on Christmas Day.  There are 47 in my immediate family so there are many table scattered through my parent's home.  Each table is decorated with wrapped gifts which contain Christopher Radko Ornaments for each person present.  Here are the various tables and other decorations throughout the house.  Join me on a little tour.

Table #1 in the kitchen and wrapped to co-ordinate with the cobalt toile wallpaper.

Each table has chargers but the china is stacked on the buffet in the kitchen.

This tree is completely covered in holly

Rudolph pays a visit each year in the back yard.

 The copper arbor above the walk way in the back yard is one of my favorite things

in the back yard at my parents.  An artist made it years ago.  It is wrapped in white lights so

at night is is really pretty.
