We entertained our deer lease hunting group
last night with an Italian dinner of lasagna and
also eggplant - chicken parmigiana. A salad, garlic
bread and rum cake were also served.
This is where half of our group was seated.
The other half were in our breakfast nook... and why I
don't have a picture of that.. baffles me.
I really enjoy our Nativity set that I purchased from..
get this... Sam's in Colima, Mexico.
In keeping with the tradition in Mexico (and probably elsewhere too) I am leaving the manger empty until
midnight Christmas Eve.
I have another function at my home tonight...
a church meeting. I'll serve dinner again.
Someone told me once that back to back entertaining is
the way to go. I'm going to find out.

Your menu sounds perfect, your table, so lovely! You have such a beautiful decorating style, Karen!
I agree--back-to-back entertaining is the best...things are already clean, and you're just in the mode!
Enjoy it all, my friend--it's a wonderful season!

Your table looks lovely and your menu sounded delicious. I'm sure everyone had fun.
I often do back-to-back entertaining as it is easier for me. The house is clean. I just reset the table after the dishes are done and, quite often, I serve almost the same menu.
Your table is beautiful and your menu sounds delicious!
Best,
Bonnie
